Memory Verse: God holds me throughout this day!

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

Emotions rise and fall, rise and fall! Isaiah 26:3 first taught me about keeping my mind constantly within your Holy Word. “He will be kept in perfect peace, whose mind is steadfast on thee.”

Sipping my Cup Of Fancy,(Earl Grey hot tea) brings me into a special place with you. Just as I share a cup of tea or coffee with a friend, so I am with you. My “God Time,” is a necessary part of my day. Whether it’s before I go out the door, in the morning, or in the evening when I have time to myself; I must connect with you daily.

Years ago, Scripture memorization became something that I depended upon. It changed my way of thinking. It took me far away from the legalization in which I was raised. Truth and light began to build within my mind and heart.

One of the greatest realizations that came upon me, once I was born again, was the following:
*You are a Father of unconditional love.
*You hold me and comfort me throughout the day.
*I feel your Presence.
*You are my hope and my tower of strength.
*There is no condemnation, for those who are saved through the blood of Jesus. Grace makes us righteous through faith alone.
*You are returning soon.
*As stress and emotions impede my actions throughout the day, I must use the memory verse and repeat it throughout the day, as if it was a scripture: “God hold me throughout the day.” Imagine, Christ standing next to you with His arm around your shoulders. Imagine, Christ hugging you and holding you in His arms. His Holy Spirit is within you, beside you; giving you love, strength, and a peace beyond all
understanding.

I praise you, Father, for all of the wisdom with which you bless me. It is acquired only through spending time with you. Allow me, ABBA, to feel you holding my hand this day. Allow your love to surround me. Knowing that it is your strength that carries me. Teach me to share this strength with others throughout my day.

As you go about your day have no fear….for He…The Holy Spirit is closer than your breath. Cling to Him.

Thank you father for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: Shout this from the rooftops! Once you are born again, The Holy Spirit brings you to a new reality. St. Patrick’s Breastplate Prayer, says it all. Christ with me. Christ before me, Christ behind me. Christ
in me. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right. Christ on my left. Christ when I lie down. Christ when I sit down. Christ when I arise. Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me. Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me. Christ in every eye that sees me. Christ in every ear that hears me.
NEVER DOUBT THAT I AM WITH YOU. I love you.
Your,
ABBA, Father
