Fret-Free Friday: God and You

Fret-Free Friday: God and You
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God created you, shaped you, and brought you into this world.
Thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel...

God wants you to live without fear because the ownership of your life is in His hands.
Fear not, for I have redeemed you...

God knows all about you. He knows your name and has set His claim upon you.
I have called you by your name; you are Mine...

God is with you. He will bring you through every difficult circumstance and trial.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.

God has His eye upon you. You are precious to Him and well loved.
Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honored, and I have loved you...

God is with you and doesn't want you to be in fear.
Fear not, for I am with you...

God wants you to put your trust in Him and Him alone.
[You are] My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no other God formed, nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the LORD, and besides Me there is no savior...

God is in absolute control.
Indeed before the day was, I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?

(Scriptures taken from Isaiah 43 in various translations. You can read it here.)

Part 47: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!

Part 47: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul (Psalm 143:8 NIV).

 

Walking in Rest!
Rest in your relationships, your work, your decisions, your daily walk. Rest in your mind, your spirit, your emotions. Rest in the future, the day, the moment. Trust Him. Rest in your salvation, your blessings, your gifts. Rest in His presence, His purpose, His plans. Begin each day in the joy of forgiveness, the power of the Holy Spirit and the hope of eternal life. Affirm that He is looking after you and has not forgotten you. Trust Him for the details of each day. Be at rest as you drive, as you shop, as you labor, as you play. Let His calm soothe you, His balm heal you, His stillness quiet you. Know His best and walk in rest.

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Revelation

My Morning Prayer: A Prayer of Revelation
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Dear Friends,
Take time to read this prayer this morning, praying it over the children in your life. Then pray it again, this time over yourself. Never forget that you are a child of God, and entitled to each of His promises!
-Marina

Promise
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 AMP

Prayer
Lord, how wonderful are Your ways, how great is Your understanding, how vast is Your knowledge, how deep is Your love, how wise are Your plans, how mighty is Your strength, how complete is Your salvation, how perfect is Your word.

Thank You that You have revealed to us all that we need to know in order to do Your will and to find Your purpose for our lives.

I pray that my children will be seekers after Your treasures, finders of Your blessings, receivers of Your gifts, discoverers of the riches that are found in Your grace, possessors of Your abundant life, explorers that find the hidden wealth that is found upon Your pathways.

Open up to them, Lord, the knowledge that will guide their understanding and the wisdom that will direct their footsteps.

Assure them that they will always have enough light to take the next step and to do the next thing. I pray that they will receive and experience all that belongs to them in Christ. May their greatest delight be found in the joys of their obedience to You.

Fret-Free Friday: God, the Healer of Hearts!

Fret-Free Friday: God, the Healer of Hearts!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

To the saddened heart, He pours the oil of gladness;
To the discouraged heart, He brings a song of hope;
To the lonely heart, He comes with the nearness of His presence;
To the disappointed heart, He speaks a promise of better things;
To the drifting heart, He secures the anchor of His steadfast love;
To the wounded heart, He applies the healing ointment of His grace;
To the soiled heart, He washes with the rivers of His mercies;
To the troubled heart, He soothes with the quiet strength of His peace.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [curing pains and their sorrows] (Psalm 147:3 AMP).

Beautiful in all your splendor,
I yield to you in full surrender.
I take your yoke,
there is no toil;
Lord, pour on me
your healing oil.

Part 46: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!

Part 46: Knowing His Best...Walking in Rest!
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Knowing His Best...
Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him  (Psalm 32:10 NIV).

 

Walking in Rest!
I have the wisdom and the resources to take care of every detail of your life. It is My responsibility and delight to provide for you. I see what is ahead. I direct the steps you are taking. To worry is to question Me. To strive is to be unsure of My power. To fear is to doubt My love. I care about you. I love you. You are mine. I will never forget about you. Don't carry burdens I do not want you to bear. Be done with anxiety. It is not fitting for you. Let My words heal you. Let Me release you from the weight you carry. Give all your cares to Me. My hand is over you; My grace upon you. You shall not want any good thing.
Lovingly,
Your Father.
