LEARN TO LIVE above your circumstances. This requires focused time with Me, the one who overcame the world. Trouble and distress are woven into the very fabric of this perishing world. Only My Life in you can empower you to face this endless flow of problems with good cheer.
As you sit quietly in My Presence, I shine peace into your troubled mind and heart. Little by little, you are freed from earthly shackles and lifted up above your circumstances. You gain My perspective on your life, enabling you to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Rest in My Presence, receiving joy that no one can take away from you.
John 16:22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing
praise to my God while I have my being.
Whatever is troubling us, hurting us or making us fearful is overcome by turning to God. This does not mean that the problem always evaporates. Many times it does, but there are many times that it persists. God’s promise is that he will give us that which we need to overcome it. And to overcome it with peace, joy and hope, not misery, fear or pain.
When we trust God, we rise above these things and live with a calm and clear perspective of the truly important things. We also rest in the sunshine of hope that God is always acting within our problems to bless us and make us into the people we were created to be.
Resting calm,
