Morning Reading

I've been resisting this book-- Friends have loved it but I thought, "nice, but not my style." Then when Jenon showed up with a copy she'd bought for me, I gave in and gave it a try. Now I'm hooked. I've determined to study the daily reading, the verses and pray before my feet hit the floor each morning. It's been so worthwhile.

Here's a sample:

"The world is too much with you, my child. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave Me out... Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind waiting for you to remember that I am with you. When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together."

"So do not fear, for I am with you for not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." --Isaiah 41:10

God is good.
