Jesus Calling - April 1st, 2025

Jesus Calling: April 1st

I am calling you to a life of constant communion with Me. Basic training includes learning to live above your circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life. You yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that your communication with Me can be uninterrupted. But I challenge you to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. Accept each day as it comes, and find Me in the midst of it all.
Talk with Me about every aspect of your day, including your feelings. Remember that your ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around you; it is to keep communing with Me. A successful day is one in which you have stayed in touch with Me, even if many things remain undone at the end of the day. Do not let your to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing your life. Instead, ask My Spirit to guide you moment by moment. He will keep you close to Me.

RELATED SCRIPTURE:

1st Thessalonians 5:17 (NIV)
17 pray continually,

Proverbs 3:6 (NIV)
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

Today's Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

Today, I come before You seeking constant communion. Help me to rise above life's clutter in order to embrace each moment as it comes while finding You amidst it all. Grant me the wisdom to surrender the idea of a perfect world and instead, to engage fully with Your presence in every day in every way.

Guide me, Lord, to communicate with You openly, sharing my joys and struggles without reservation or hesitation. Teach me to release the need for control, understanding that true and fulfilling success lies in staying connected with You, regardless of what remains unfinished.

May Your Spirit lead me moment by moment, day by day, shaping my path according to Your will. Let my heart be ever attuned to Your presence as I submit all my ways to You. 

In Jesus' name, amen.
