And Jesus said:
"Since MY heavenly Father’s ways are
different than the world, focus on changing your immediate ideas. Since His
ways are not usually humanity’s first thoughts, work on doing and asking the
opposite. For example, when you feel lonely, don’t ride the wave of pity.
Rather say: “Lord, thanks for being my friend.” I and the Father are still one.
When you are in pain, say thanks for pain that shows life. When you are tired,
say thanks for chance to rest in Me. When you feel distrustful, say thanks for
trust. When you are sad, ask for delight in Me. When you feel impatient, ask
for connectedness in Me. When you experience the negative, you will not FEEL
like asking for some positive. But turn to Me with your surrendered volition.
Ask, then, I will make any necessary change."
Prayer: Lord help me to lean on your every word,
even when I do not feel like it. Help me see you always present.
