Journals of the Heart

Word of the Day

Beloved, with trust born from thankfulness and contentment guarding the gateways of your heart and life, I am moved to intervene in the affairs of your life with My Big Hand. As I do these things you must continue to fondly proclaim who I AM. My hands will lead the way and My footprints shall be easy to see. I will point you in the right direction with clarity of mind yet unknown to you.

Be attentive and listen carefully to the slightest impression and softest whisper. Be willing to abide with a heart set on beholding My face. All things are revealed by beholding Me—by beholding My Word.

There are times your grateful heart is so full, you are lost for words to express your gratitude. Never deny the outpouring of your gratefulness for it takes you into the courts of Heaven. Have I not said, “Enter My courts with thanksgiving, enter My courts with praise” (Psalms 100:4)?

Yes, I marvel at your grateful heart. Each time you utter a sigh of thanksgiving in even the smallest occurrences, I am deeply touched. My hands lead you to a safe anchor. I will settle you into your dream abode where I will speak to you while the stars adorn the heavens above you. Amid the passing hours of night and day I will nurture the sweet memories abiding in your heart and build your faith and trust in My caring hands.

Yes, as you faithfully whisper My name, even in the middle of a noisy and turbulent world, My hand leads and saves. My heart says to your heart, “Fear not . . . .”(Isaiah 41:10 Psalms 78:53)

As you move from confusion to hope, from chaos to order, from want to prosperity, from ignorance to revelatory knowledge, My capable hands will hold yours. My grip will give you strength. My touch will give you freedom from all your fears. My soft whispers will illumine your confused mind and darkness will be no more (Psalms 18:28). Abide in Me and all will be well with your soul…Read Complete Love Letter…

Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice (Isaiah 41:10 Amplified)

Prayer

Lord, I take Your Big Hand and my eyes are focused on You, focused on the Word. My ears attentively listen for every word of wisdom and love proceeding from Your mouth and heart. My feet walk in Your footprints and I am not afraid. As I behold You, all comes into focus. Gratefulness for all You have done and are doing floods my being day by day, causing me to walk in more faith. You come to me in the night to fill my dreams with Your plans and visions for me. I whisper Your name and You are with me.

Your hands hold me; transport me out of unhealthy thoughts, attitudes and actions into freedom and liberty. I live and move within the Word of Your mouth. Your touch caresses me with tenderness and fear abates. All is well with my soul when I am with You. Draw me nearer and I will come. Amen

Reflect and Journal

1. In what areas of your life do you need clarity of mind to continue on and do things He has asked you to do?

1. Take some time to reflect on the many good things He has done in your life. Write them down and audibly speak with a grateful heart and watch your faith rise like the morning sun.

1. Do you have any situations which are chaotic; need wisdom, need resolving, or need hope? Whisper His name among the worldly noise. Speak peace and listen. What is He saying?
