“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).
The worries of daily life draw you away from the presence of God. Silence your restless desires, feverish thoughts, and anxieties. In silence, seek the face of your Father, and the light of His countenance will shine upon you. He will open a secret place in your heart, and upon entering there, you will find Him. Everything around you will begin to reflect Him — everything will speak with Him, and He will respond through everything.
When you decide to obey the Creator without reservation, recognizing that you are merely a creature before Him, God builds this space of intimacy. In that place, He speaks with you, guides you, and pours out blessings until your cup overflows. This comes from obedience to His mighty Law.
So, calm the internal noise today. Surrender completely to the Word of God, and He will create this refuge in you, bringing peace, direction, and abundant blessings. -Adapted from E. B. Pusey. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Dear God, today I find myself lost in the whirlwind of daily worries, allowing restless desires, feverish thoughts, and anxieties to draw me away from Your sweet and calm presence. I confess that the internal noise often prevents me from seeking Your face in silence, but I long for the light of Your countenance that shines upon me, opening a secret place in my heart where I can find You. I ask that You help me silence my soul, so that everything around me reflects Your glory and I hear Your voice responding in every detail.
My Father, today I ask You to give me a heart that obeys without reservation, recognizing that I am merely a creature before You, so that You build this space of intimacy in me. Teach me to live according to Your mighty Law, for I know that it is through obedience that You speak with me, guide me, and pour out blessings until my cup overflows. I ask that You guide me to this secret place, where Your presence envelops and transforms me with Your love and direction.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You for promising peace, direction, and abundant blessings to those who surrender completely to Your Word, creating in me a refuge where Your voice resonates. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the key that opens my heart. Your commandments are a whisper that guides me on a path of happiness. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
