Jesus Calling
This morning, I opened up my devotional and it was just what I needed to hear. I figured I would share it here, maybe it will encourage someone else as well.

From 'Jesus Calling', by Sarah Young, she prayerfully writes from Jesus perspective

Rest in Me, my child. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticiptate what will happen. Pray continually, asking My Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with Me. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don't even feel the strong grip of My hand holding yours. How foolish you are, My child!

Remembrance of Me is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of My Presence with you. This will keep you resting in Me all day, every day.

Biblical References 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Psalms 62:5

This devotional is amazing, every day it meets me where I'm at. Challenges me. Encourages me. Spurs me on. I've only been reading it for a month, and it's already transformed my walk of faith in big ways.

I love it so much, I want to give one away to you guys. Leave a comment if you're looking for a new devotional, and this one strikes your fancy. If there's more than one, I'll do a random draw next week :)

    I would totally love this devotional, as yes indeed... it spoke to me through what you shared. I need to do more resting, that's for sure.

    Sounds like an awesome book. I am definitely in need of a devotional. I signed up for Bible Study Fellowship in the fall but need something to keep me in line this summer for sure.
