Sarah Young Devotional

Peace be with you! Ever since the resurrection, this has been My watchword to those who yearn for Me.  Please sit quietly, let My Peace settle over you and enfold you in My loving Presence. Receive My Peace abundantly and thankfully.  My Peace is a rare treasure, dazzling in delicate beauty, yet strong enough to withstand all onslaughts.  Wear My Peace with regal dignity.  It will keep your heart and mind close to Mine.  I will never leave you or forsake you.

Sarah Young Devotional from Jesus Calling
John 20:19-21; John 14:27

Inspiration by Sarah Young

Devotional from:
Psalm 37:7; Romans 8:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9

“Lay quietly in My Presence while I bless you.  Make your mind like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts I drop into it.  Do not wear yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with the pressures of life, for surely you can.  Keep looking to Me and communicating with Me, as we walk through this day and everyday together.

Take time to rest by the wayside, for I am not in a hurry.  A leisurely pace accomplishes more than hurried striving.  When you rush, you forget who you are and Whose you are.  Remember that you are royalty in My Kingdom.”

Inspiration From Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling

When things seem to be going all wrong, stop and affirm your trust in Me. Calmly bring these matters to Me, and leave them in My capable hands.  Then, simply do the next thing.  Stay in touch with Me through thankful, trusting prayers, resting in My presence.  Be at peace.

Becoming Friends with Time

by Joan C Webb

“To love life is to love time. Time is the stuff life is made of.” Benjamin Franklin

This quote from Benjamin Franklin intrigues me. Living in harmony with time. Agreeing not to compete against time. Becoming friends with time. What a relief-filled possibility! A colleague surprised me recently when she said, “I’m in the process of changing my philosophy about time and work—and beginning to think that maybe fulfillment and success are not found in keeping my nose to the grindstone every minute. I’ve decided to try to be a bit easier on myself—to take breaks, to pause and talk with fellow workers and to rest when appropriate. However, I admit I feel extremely uncomfortable about this. Am I doing the right thing?” Perhaps God allows finite human beings (that’s you and me!) to live within the confines of time to protect us from anxiety overload and burnout. Changing our concept of time as a slave driver or tyrant (or wet blanket) to that of a friend may help us become more peaceful and content. Wouldn’t that be a refreshing way to live? And I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again (Phil. 1:6, NLT).

Lord, Thanks for the safety of time limitations. Keep reminding me that no is not a naughty word. I let go of my need to do everything and serve everyone. I’m trusting that You’ll finish in me what You’ve started.

I wrote the above message about TIME several years ago (it appears on page 141 of The Relief of Imperfection.) And I journaled about this personal “aha” several years before that. When I read it again today, it felt new. Just another reminder that I’m on an ongoing journey of life as a “recovering” workaholic (or action-addict or over-doer, whatever you want to call it!) What about you? How do you feel about TIME?

Calming Self-Doubt

by Joan C Webb

Doubts About Failure–or Success?

Have you ever suspected that you (or a loved one) are not only a little afraid of failure, but apprehensive of success, as well? I have. Self-doubt and the related thoughts and behaviors are no fun for us in today’s economic atmosphere. Neither were they for those who lived when Jesus walked the earth.

Exhausted and discouraged from working (fishing) all night with no success, Simon and his crew decided to take Jesus’ suggestion, even though it seemed pointless. They tried again. Immediately, fish came from seemingly nowhere. They signaled another boat. Filled to the brim with the catch, both boats started to sink with the weight of so many fish.

An amazed Simon Peter begged, “Lord, please get out of here. I’m not good enough for You.”

“Don’t worry, Peter” said Jesus. “From now on, you’ll be working with Me.”

It’s Okay!

Some of us, like Peter, focus on our failures and withdraw. “Be assured that the voices of shame and self-condemnation that speak in our minds with such harshness are not of God,” writes Marsha Crockett in her book Break Through. “These voices are the illusions others have spoken into us. When we accept what they say as the complete truth about ourselves, they keep us from God.”

Peter feared getting close to Jesus because he listened to a faulty inner message. Yet Jesus calmed his fears with words of assurance: “Don’t be afraid to get to know Me and trust Me. I have a plan. We’ll work together, and it’ll be just fine.” (Read Luke 5:8, 10)

Today’s Prayer:

Lord, like You did for Peter, please calm my self-doubt.

Making It Personal:

Take a step toward God today. He’s right there.
