Jesus Calling - Daily Devotional - May 25th

From the devotional "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence", by Sarah Young - for May 25th

Devotional Text:

The world is too much with you, My child. Your mind leaps from problem to problem to problem, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave me out of your world-view and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you.

When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings.

Included Scriptures:

Isaiah 41:10
English Standard Version

fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Zephaniah 3:17
English Standard Version

The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.

Psalm 34:19
English Standard Version

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

God bless you!
