"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

REST


Sonday greetings to all.

I have had an anxious and unsettling spirit all weekend. Effects my whole being and makes me unsettled and antcy. A lot of the time when I feel this way, I find God is working something in me or out of me. So in the meantime.....

I thought I would share some scripture on the topic of "rest." As I know I need it, and a lot of you out there need it. Now we need to apply it!

I am just as guilty as the next person by saying, "oh this is nice, wish it could be for me." Well, it can be!


Matt 11:28-30 (Amp) Come to me all you who labor (feel fatigue, work hard, toil, be wearied) and are heavy laden (to load up, overburdened w/ ceremony or spiritual anxiety) & overburdened, and I will cause you to rest (I will ease & relieve & refresh your souls) (be exempt, remain, refresh, take ease).

29 Take my yoke (coupling, pair of balances) upon you & learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) & humble (lowly) in heart and you will find rest (relief & ease & refreshment & recreation & blessed quiet) (intermission) for your souls.

30 for My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, pleasant), (easy, better, good, gracious, kind) & my burden (task, service) is light & easy to be borne.

I Peter 5:7-8 (Amp) Casting (fling) the whole of your care (all your anxieties & all your worries, all your concerns, once & for all) on Him for He cares for your affectionately & cares about you watchfully.

  11. These are my favorite scriptures because they will get us through those most difficult of challenges life tosses our way. God will prevail and He will supply our daily needs. Not weekly, monthly, or even yearly. Just enough to get through the day, so stop worrying about tomorrow. God is providing a way to get through today, let tomorrow wait.
