Monday, March 9 - prayer for Karen, Rudy, Rick, Chad and Brea
This word seems to be for Karen today, but it is also for any of us. "Rest in my presence. The world around you is spinning faster and faster and more and more complicated. Rest in my presence - a cushion of calm awaits you there. Go there - and go there often - for this is where you are energized; filled with my love, joy, and peace. Learn to depend on me. Find your completeness in me. Help others without using them to meet your own needs. Live in the light of my presence, and your light will shine brightly into the lives of others." Read Galatians Chapter 5, verse 22

Thank you for this, Lonnie. I feel it speaks to me, also. We do need to spend time in the awesome presence of God -- by studying His word, by praising Him, aaaaaaaaand by just sitting silently in His presence and allowing Him to touch us. "In His presence" can be anywhere at all!! That is the beauty of God.
this came just in the nick of time for me. I really needed to hear this. I have been referring to it everyday this week. Funny how I see something different in it everyday! THank you, MOM!! You need to be deemed..."MOTHER LONNIE" our new Mother Teresa!
Yes, it is too easy to feel like we are in the spin cycle on our washing machines. I have to make a conscientious effort to "rest" in the spirit. Our minds become bogged down with worry and then we slip away from God's plan for us. Thank you for reminding me to slow down and receive his gifts for us.
