Jesus Calling - April 11th, 2024

Jesus Calling: April 11th

     This is the day that I have made. Rejoice and be glad in it. Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life. Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances. The way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them. This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to work My ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.
     To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries. I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments. I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past. There is abundant Life in My Presence today.

RECOMMENDED BIBLE VERSES:
Psalm 118:24 NLT
24 This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Philippians 3:13-14 NLT
  13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
  14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Today's Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

On this day that You have lovingly crafted, I come before You with an open heart and hands of faith and belief. Help me to receive Your blessings with gratitude, trusting in Your vision for my life.

Grant me the grace to refrain from complaining by recognizing Your sovereignty in every circumstance. May my gratitude pave the way for Your transformative power to work many wonders in my life.

Guide me to embrace the present moment by understanding my human limitations. Let me not be consumed by the past or anxious about the future. Instead, let me find abundant life in Your presence here and now.

As I journey through this day, may I rejoice in Your creation and remain steadfast in pursuing Your purpose for me. In Jesus' name, amen.
