Thank you Marie. I´m trying my best to believe the Lord is holding me even when I don’t “feel” He’s doing it. I love Him and want nothing more than to glorify Him.
God bless you and your family Marie :)

Most often Susy when we go through trials and tribulations; especially when we know that our relationship with the Lord is right, they are designed to take us to the next level in our walk with the Lord,(the new relationship you are starting with Him).

And Susy, He never promised it would be easy but He did promise that when you pass through the waters, He will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. He said that He would give Epypt for your ransom, Ethopia and Seba in your place because you are precious in His sight. (Isaiah 43)

Beloved remain steadfast and unmovable, He is holding you in the fire until He sees his image.

Hi,
I´ve gone through so much that I´ve become somewhat cynical. The devotional talks about having an impression on your heart, a Scripture that illuminates your mind and a picture that fills your eyes. I´ve experienced all of that and truly believed God had spoken to me, it was very personal, too personal to be called a coincidence. I experienced it during my time with the Lord, at church or while worshiping Him, and I can say that it´s been proven wrong. Don´t get me wrong, please, I love Jesus more than I could ever be able to explain with words. I do spend time with Him, even though it´s been hard sometimes, especially after everything that came down. I´m not trying to discourage anybody at all. I just want to understand why I’ve gone through all of that, I just don´t understand it. It is because of what I’ve experienced that it is very hard for me to know when the Lord is speaking to me now. And believe me, I have not been led by emotions or my own desires, only God knows how true that is. I´m starting a new relationship with Him, leaving everything in the past and putting my whole trust in Him again. I just pray that by the power of His Holy Spirit I will be able to recognize His voice in a new way. Christianity has been difficult for me.
Thank you all for your input and for belonging to this beautiful family. There´s no one like Jesus!!

Great devotional! I also struggle with daily just sitting and being still before the Lord! BUT I am constantly talking to him throughout the day and praising Him often, for every little thing. Like my beautiful healthy nephew born early this morning :-) Praise God!!!!

To KOUKIE’S question… I think that FAITH is a huge part of being a Christian and that we need faith to believe in anything. Also, I think when we are daily spening time with the Lord, we WILL know the differnce between God speaking to you and your imagination. Because when someone really intimately meets the living God something miraculous happens. Your eyes and heart will be so open to Him and you WILL hear and see all that He can do in your life, if you allow Him to work in you! Also, we need to TRUST HIM!!! Let’s not just say it, but actually do it and praise Him for what He is going to do, even before it has happened. Also, I think that sometimes people think that “oh that was just a coinsedence”, which would be part of your question koukie about it being your mind. but I DO NOT think that there is such a thing as coinsedence. But yet it is a divine intervetion of the Lord. I hope this answer may have helped you some! :-)

God bless you as you seek Him and thank you Lord for this awesome devotion that we can come to daily and refresh!

Love Tracy

Excellent question, koukie. I’m anxious to read some good answers.

Patty, thank you for letting me know I’m not the only one struggling with prayer.

How do we know that this verse or picture is god’s word not just that our mind made it ?

Thank you so much for your devotional, it helps me each day. I also struggle with prayer everyday, but I am thankful that God forgives me when I fail to pray as I should. I believe that the enemy will do anything he can to keep you from praying. I appreciate Toni’s comment, it helps to know that I am not the only one who struggles with prayer. God Bless you for sending this devotional to me.

Many times when we pray we are expecting to hear the audible voice of God. I believe this is why it is difficult to be still. In our prayer time we must turn our hearts and mind inward to hear the spirit man speaking. God speaks to our spirit man. We are listening with ears and not with our heart.

I am struggling with daily prayer. I know I need to pray/converse with my Heavenly Father throughout the day and I try but it’s still a struggle. Thank you for devotionals like “More Than A Monologue” and your daily devotionals.
