In the River of Peace

My Father, you are mine. Please come and draw me deeper into your heart. 

My daughter, you are mine and I love you. We will go deeper in today.

Dad, if I need to meditate on a word today, what would that be?

Peace

Lord, I pray that your peace will fill my heart and guard my thoughts today. I sense your awesome presence and I feel a faithful warmth in my heart. These lyrics come to mind..When peace like a river attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows role. Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.” Father I do come to the river and meet you there.

My daughter, come and rest, and I will draw you close. 

Father I sense your nearness but there’s so much silence today. I put my trust in you. 

Father, fasting is something I need to do more often and it’s definitely not a strength of mine. It came to mind that I can borrow this strength from others who are disciplined in this area, so this is what I’m going to do and I thank you that I can do that.

My daughter, come and rest in me today and I will draw you near. 

Dad, I know I’m having a hard time with silence. During the day I love having silence and quiet time as I write and listen to your voice, but it’s the silence between us that I’m having difficulty to accept. I know I’m not alone. I know you’re near and I know you hear me.

I do hear you my daughter. Your thoughts speak to me loud and clear. 

Father, when I rest in the natural, I feel like I can’t rest for long and need to get up and do something, especially when others are home -I think it’s because I feel worthless if I don’t do things. As I’m thinking about this, I think the lie I’m believing about myself is that I need to earn my worth. Yes Father, this is it -it resonates in my heart. I remember a dream I had a while back, and in it I said that I’m not a servant. Please come and restore what’s broken Father -I need you. The lie has been exposed by your light, and I don’t agree with it any more. I break this lie off of me in Jesus name. Fill me with your truth Father. I know you give me value and worth, so help me to know this not only in my mind but also in my heart so that I can begin to walk in it. I see a picture of me swimming in the water.

Caroline, I love you more than you will ever know. Now come and rest in me. I give you permission to rest and I value you. You are mine.
