In My Hand

Oh, my children, I recognise you are in a season of intensified experiences which causes heightened emotions. There are many of you who have been battling with feelings of fear, anxiety, grief, disappointment, and isolation. They have clouded your view and prevented you from hearing my voice. 

There are those who haven’t understood when you have tried to share your experiences and others were simply too busy with their own battles to accommodate yours. This is a challenging spiritual climate!

Although it may not seem to be the case, you have already overcome.

Submit your emotions to me and as you do so, we will make an exchange. 

Take my garment of praise. 

Receive my oil of gladness. 

Wear my love and stability. 

Embrace my strengthening joy. 

Let me saturate you with my peace. 

I will take your overwhelming and debilitating state of mind and will empower you to hear me clearly as I give you strategies to overcome.

Activation:

Write down a list of the things that are causing you to feel worried and hand them to the Lord. Thank Him for the things he is placing in your hand instead of these worries (such as joy, love, peace, and soundness of mind).

Matthew 6:25-34 (NLT)

That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

Isaiah 61:3 (ESV)

. . . to grant to those who mourn in Zion—

    to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness instead of mourning,

    the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
