SIT QUIETLY WITH ME, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. There, in the light of My Presence, the bubbles pop and disappear. However, some fears surface over and over again, especially fear of the future. You tend to project yourself mentally into the next day, week, month, year, decade; and you visualize yourself coping badly in those times. What you are seeing is a false image, because it doesn’t include Me. Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since My Presence will be with you at alltimes.
When a future-oriented worry assails you, capture it and disarm it by suffusing the Light of My Presence into that mental image. Say to yourself, “Jesus will be with me then and there. With His help, I can cope!” Then, come home to the present moment, where you can enjoy Peace in My Presence.
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

The Singing NetSurfers
I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
When we turn our thoughts away from negativity and replace the negative thoughts with thoughts of God, then we allow the light of God’s grace to penetrate us. This not only enlightens our thoughts, but reflects the light of God on everything around us.
As the dark images are replaced with images of light, we can sit quietly with God in Peace.
Letting the light shine in,
