Keep your eyes on me!!! Waves of adversity are washing over you, and you feel tempted to give up. As your circumstances consume more and more of your attention, you are losing sight of Me. Yet I am with you always, holding you by your right hand. I am fully aware of your situation, and I will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear. Your greatest danger is worrying about tomorrow. If you try to carry tomorrow's burdens today, you will stagger under the load and eventually fall flat. You must discipline yourself to live within the boundaries of today. It is the present moment that I walk close to you, helping you carry your burdens. Keep your focus on My Presence in the present. Psalm 73:23 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. God, you are bigger than my circumstances. You are in charge of ALL my burdens. Let me walk with you today in the burdens we face today God. Help me step by step to better commune with you and trust in you!

Today's devo is definitely for me

I am leading you, step by step, through your life. Hold My hand in trusting dependence, letting Me guide you through this day. Your future looks uncertain and feels flimsy-even precarious. That is how it should be. Secret things belong to The Lord, and future things are secret things. When you try to figure out the future, you are grasping at things that are Mine. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: doubting My promises to care for you.

Whenever you find yourself worrying about the future, repent and return to Me. I will show you the next step forward, and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that. Relax and enjoy the journey in My Presence, trusting Me to open up the way before you as you go.

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29 NIV)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. (Psalm 32:8 NIV)

God to you I give over my anxious desires. I give over to you my future. Guide me day by day as I dwell in your presence. Help me serve you in the here and now and not get ahead of myself. I love you Lord.

Rest in my presence, allowing Me to take charge of this day. Do not bolt into the day like a racehorse suddenly released. Instead, walk purposefully with Me, letting Me direct your course one step at a time. Thank Me for each blessing along the way; this brings Joy go both you and Me. A grateful heart protects you from negative thinking. Thankfulness enabled you to see the abundance I shower upon you daily. Your prayers and petitions are winged into heaven's throne room when they are permeated with thanksgiving. In everything give thanks, for this is My will for you.

Colossians 4:2
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV)

Thank you God for this day, for my home, my friends, my family, my job, my breath, my health. Thank you for your Word and that the Word became flesh. Thank you Christ for living a sinless life and leading the way. Thank you for your sacrifice that we can't even fathom for me and for mall. Thank you God for your incredible healing and your unfailing love and faithfulness. Thank you for rescuing me and setting me free. Thank you for the plans you have for me that are so much better than my own. I love you Lord.
