Maintaining Peace

Philippians 4:6,7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 

Conversation

Papa, I love You. Thank-You for Your grace and mercy.

I love you My darling. You are Mine. Caroline, draw near to Me.

Papa, I love You, I worship You, and I want what You want for me. However You lead, I trust You.

Caroline My daughter, be anxious for nothing. I am near to you and will help you.

Papa, I’m afraid of not understanding in time again. You know my heart. I worship You. I give all my cares to You. You are my life. You are my purpose. Please ready my heart; I want to follow you whole heartedly, all the time.

Come, arise my faithful servant. Rest. You are Mine. 

Reflection

This is January 13th post, sorry this is so late.. My prayer time was so difficult today. I really needed to fight (confusion)for my peace. I had written a conversation with the Lord but it felt too directional (I’ll post it here tomorrow for a bit). I did 15 minutes of silence and solitude before that (Wellness Wednesday) and really felt God’s love, but I didn’t pour out my heart to God with praying in tongues. So I deleted my first conversation and after spending time praying in the Spirit, I wanted to have another conversation, which is the one above. But during my time praying in the Spirit I fell asleep and I had a short dream. In this dream someone was talking with my pastor. I couldn’t hear what they were saying (This person, who I vaguely saw, was standing on my left and my pastor who I saw clearly, was in front and kind of to my right.). The person was saying something like, “this is what I meant,” and my pastor was nodding his head like he had been corrected as he was listening to the person. I noticed his silver hair and his facial expression. Whatever this means I’m fine with because I’m trusting in God. Earlier, during the first conversation as I was sitting, I fell asleep for a few moments and had a quick picture of a mop, someone had taken out a mop and was starting to mop the floor. I’m so sad that I hadn’t understood about the tithe. But overall I’m trusting, being sharpened by the Holy Spirit. I’m actually not worried about it because I know that God’s got my back. I woke up this morning at 6:59 and went downstairs to pray and sat in silence for about ten min. Gods Peace filled my heart and I’m leaning into Him. I know that God is with me and He leads me in paths of righteousness and love. I love you Jesus… ❤️‍🔥

Jan 13: 1:17 I saw a mattress on the floor (if this is referring to a dream I had earlier that we were getting the mattresses, yay! we’re moving in!!!!) 5:01 something about, “the hardest weapon” Also heard in my heart, “As long as I’m breathing , I’ve got a reason to praise the Lord, oh my soul. Praise the Lord, oh my soul. I won’t be quiet my God is alive, how could I keep it inside!” 6:12 I saw an ironing board with white legs that was easy to move around because it was a lighter one. I saw the top of it (white/grey designs) and saw the white legs coming out from underneath at an angle. Then I saw that it was folded together, leaning up against something, maybe one of the displays in the main store area. Then I had a knowing that there were two of them, and  I saw a guy who was going to buy one of them. I think he had two in his hands but then he put one back, leaning it up where it was before. 6:48 I woke up and heard in my heart, “I’m done my tithe, woo hoo!”A bit later, something about the easiest one, this was vague and could have been random thoughts.I wasn’t sleeping before this but at 7:11 I looked at the time and heard these lyrics in my heart, “Let everything! That has breath! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” I’ll praise You in the valley, praise when I’m outnumbered. Praise when I’m sure, and praise when I’m doubting. Theirs nobody greater than You! Praise the Lord, oh my soul. Praise the Lord, oh my soul! My God is not quiet I know He’s alive, how could I keep it inside!
