If you’re struggling with something, don’t just tell yourself what a mess you are or how bad or discouraged you feel—explain it to Me and tell Me why you feel bad or discouraged or like a mess. I can provide help and comfort and reassurance and overcoming power as we discuss the problems of the day. Come unto Me, you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Listen for My still, small voice. Remember the lesson I taught My servant Elijah that I was not in the tempest and the winds as he stood on the mountain, nor in the earthquake and the fire, but in the still, small voice. Although you may feel as if you’re going through tempests or earthquakes or fires on some days, or all three, if you can find those moments to listen to the still, small voice that follows—My voice—I will calm the storm, help you to ride out the earthquake, and I will quench the fire.
So begin your day with Me, and then acknowledge Me throughout the day. You can’t do the work that I’ve given you to do without My power, and you can get that power by spending time with Me. That’s one of the secrets to not getting run down or run over by all the cares and duties of your busy life.
Abide in Me, and let Me abide in you. Talk to Me, sing to Me, converse with Me, listen to Me, commune with Me. You can’t make it without Me.
