Stay in His Presence

Hello love bugs,

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed in you because he trust in you. “ Isaiah 26:3 ESV  Whenever we are grieving ( anxious, depressed, denial, anger, bargaining) the best thing you can do is shift your focus from that circumstance onto Jesus! When we shift our focus onto Jesus it makes us eternally grateful! For gratitude frees your mind from atrocities ! A grateful life is a joyful life! Why focus on the trial while Jesus is already doing the heavy lifting for you? For He already knows what you are going through! Just give it to Him and trust in Him! Why not shift your focus onto Him and allow Him to do the heavy work? When Peter was walking towards Jesus on the water, he was walking in his faith and not by his sight! His focus was on Jesus ! He trusted that Jesus will carry him through! Do you trust that Jesus will carry you through safely ? The real question is are you focusing on Jesus while things are hitting the fan? Or are you just focusing on the surrounding issues at hand? Are you sitting around a fire and focusing on the fire? Or are you sitting around the fire and focusing on Jesus face? During every situation we shall focus on Jesus! Whether it is good or bad! Let’s continue to be in His presence! Our Father is omnipresent( always in the present) For the present is a gift! The key to eternal joy and peace is staying in the Lords presence! Stay focus on the gifts that the Lord bestowed upon you! Father, thank you for being a present Father! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be in your presence! Thank you giving us the gifts of peace, joy, love, gentleness, kindness, goodness, and self control while we are staying in your presence ! We ask thee to continue to shift our desires to always want to be in your presence ! May it be ingrained in us to instantly come to you when troubles arise! We thank you for all the gifts that you gave us! For we are eternally grateful! In Jesus name. Amen.
