Draw Close to the Lord Today

(A Devotional Note Based on Scripture Written to you for your Encouragement as Though it is from the Lord)

When you pray, do you take time to draw close to Me and pour your heart out to Me?  I miss the closeness that we used to have.  When you read My Word, are you giving Me any time to speak to you personally about what you are learning and studying?  Are you too busy to do that which is best: take time to be alone with Me and listen to Me?  Let Me refill you when you are depleted!  Pray about every facet of your life so that you will stay spiritually anchored to Me: I will keep you safe and still in the storm.  Let Me use My Word to remind you what My promises are for your life.  Let me remind you who you are as opposed to the labels the accuser claims you bear.  Don’t be weighted down by burdens I have said are not yours to carry!  Draw close to Me; feel my arms around you.  Take time to get to know Me: I am the most important part. 

Luke 10:38-42; James 4:8; Jeremiah 33:3

Prayer:

Lord, forgive me.  It’s not that I don’t read your Word at all; sometimes I even read it for hours doing research for a project or a Bible study, but I am so sorry that I often do not stop and listen to what You might be trying to say to me through Your Word.  Please teach me to get still in Your presence and sit at your feet during our alone time together.  Thank You.
