Aging

As we get older it’s good to remember that aging is a state of our physical life, not our spiritual life. We mature spiritually, but we grow older physically. While physical vitality declines with age and the body slows down, our spiritual life can remain vital and vibrant as we grow from faith to faith and glory to glory.

One day, it’s as though the physical side of us says to the spiritual side, “I’ve run the race with you these many years, but I can’t keep up the pace any longer, you go on ahead and I will catch up with you at the resurrection.”

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NKJV)

The Secret Place

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

Lord, thank You for the secret place, the quiet place, where I commune with You. It is my treasured place. Intimate. Sheltered. Cherished.

Here my spirit abides under the shadow of the Almighty. Here I rest, secure under the covering of Your wings.

Here my soul is restored, my strength renewed, and my heart revived as I receive the joys found in Your presence alone.

Jesus lead me there. Father meet me there. Holy Spirit keep me there.

No matter if the pace be fast or slow, however full the calendar, whatever the task requires, whatever the needs of the day…keep my heart still. Quiet. Guard my mind with Your healing peace.  Amen!

Guidance: Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

Trust- Rely upon Him fully and be confidently secure.

In the LORD- The Almighty One who has all wisdom, power and authority.

With all your heart- Be 100% all in, with all you’ve got, let your heart be fixed and settled.

And lean not on your own understanding- Let His thoughts be your thoughts, His plans your plans, His will your will.

In all your ways- In you going out and coming in, in your choices, in your expectations, and in every detail of life.

Acknowledge Him- He is in charge. He reigns. He makes the way and prepares the way. He will never make a mistake or mislead you.

And He shall direct your paths- Count on it! He will direct your life. He will get you where you need to be and keep you there to fulfill His purpose.

Healing Prayer

Father, You are the Almighty One! Nothing is impossible or too hard for You.

You are Healer God (Jehovah-Rapha). That is Your name. You make bitter things sweet, You revive the old and make things new, You take the things that were lost and restore them. You come with healing in Your wings. You send forth Your word and we are made whole.

You speak and wonders happen; You work and miracles take place; You touch with Your hand and new things begin—You turn beauty into ashes and give the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. You are the One who forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases.

You are the One who sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, and anointed Him with the power of the Holy Spirit. He went about doing good, healing all who came to Him, and delivered all who were oppressed by the devil because You were with Him. It is by His stripes we are healed.

I receive from You all that You are and all Your Son has provided for me through His death and resurrection. Come now with healing in Your wings.

A bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" Matthew 17:5
