The Storm’s Angry Waves!

Good morning, Papa God! 

My thoughts are all over the place this morning as I sit here, trying to be still in Your Presence. I cannot harness this whirlwind of thoughts and get calm and quiet before You. Speak Your peace to my soul. Calm the restlessness within me. I am just sitting here, waiting for Your peace to fall on me. I am not leaving Your Presence until it does. It does not matter to me how long it takes this morning for my soul to be at peace. I am sitting here, waiting! I need You now and every hour, with every breath that I take. I need You. You are my light and my salvation, the strength and defense of my life. Of whom or what shall I fear or dread? You are my hope and my confidence. In You will I trust. My thoughts are churning less, and You are calming my soul. Your peace is beginning to flood into my soul. I am hiding myself in the shadow of Your wings, and resting in Your loving Presence. You are my safe and secure Refuge, my safe place to hide when life becomes too much to handle. I just come and sit here with You for a while, and let You restore my soul. You will not allow me to be shaken or overcome by uncertainty. Even when I come to You, like this morning, with my concerns and racing thoughts, You give me Your peace. You encourage me, lift me up, and sustain me. You hold me up in every situation. My future is secure in Your hands, and all I have to do is rest in You.

Good morning, My child!

Be at peace. Know that you are protected from the storm’s angry waves. Just as I said to them, “Peace. Be still,” I also say to you. Your deepest level of worship is praising Me. Through the pain, I need for you to thank Me because I am working in and through it. Through the trials, I need for you to trust Me because I am working in and through them. When you are discouraged and tempted to lose heart and quit, I need for you to remember that I love you. I am still close to you, even when I seem distant. At your lowest, I am your hope. At your darkest, I am your light. At your weakest (like now), I am your strength. And, even now, when you are at your saddest, I am your comfort and peace. My child, I say to you, “peace, be still!” I calm the angry storms. I am your hope, your light, your strength, your comfort, and your peace.
