Father in Heaven,
Today I want to thank you for the image of You on Your throne and the earth as Your footstool. You, the ever-present God who lives forever is the keeper of my life. You are not panicked by my busy schedule nor by my list of hurried needs. You are the All knowing, King Eternal who has every detail within Your grasp and who works in my life with eternity in mind.

Today I pray that You will grant me rest in the fact that though You are invisible You are also unfathomable. The depth of who You are and all You have in mind for me is beyond understanding. As You bring eternal kingdom business onto the landscape of my life in increasing measure, I thank you that You also will bring a new depth of joy and peace to my day that is beyond understanding too.

Thank you that You are the Everlasting God who will outlast every thing that concerns me today. You will work in me to bring lasting joy that will impact eternity as well.

May my life bring glory and honor to You today. In the strong name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Questions: Knowing that this unfathomable God is your Father, how does that affect your relationship with your husband or your family? How can we maintain joy and peace in our busy lives?

Thank you Gail for these devotionals on the name and attibutes of God and how to pray. I have shared this with individuals who needed it at that time and they each were blessed by the information.

Thank you for providing me with the information to share with others in need.

Thank you Gail to remind us that God is not bothered by our panicked schedule but does things in His own time. He knows all of our needs and will provide for them when the time is right. It is not always easy to rest in this knowledge but that is where you find peace and His eternal love for us.

What a wonderful God we have is all powerful, all knowing,
and yet loves us and wants the very best of His world for us. Praise God.

As I read the devotional this morning and thought of the “eternal’ aspect of our God, and how His perspetive is so different than ours,
was reminded of the question of a wise pastor.
“Will it matter a hundred years from now?
This has often come back to me when I am fretting about something that has or hasn’t happened as I would have wanted it to, or when I am tempted to wallow in remorse. Sometimes it helps to step back and look at things from an eternal perspective. Have a great day all!

Good question, Gail! I find that whenever I have a good relationship with our Heavenly Father, I will certainly have a good relationship with my huband and my daughter. And whenever I have some problems with my family, for example, my attitude is not good enough, or I don’t say positive things to build up others, it shows that I don’t have a close relationship with our Father. Keeping a healthy and close relationship with our Father will definitely improve our relationship with anyone! The best way to maintain joy and peace in our busy life is to put God in first priority. Then anything else will run smoothly.
