Are you heavy burdened? Filled with many a care? Run now to your Savior, And find sweetest rest, there.
Jesus knows your labor, And endless seeming toil. He wants to bear your load, And bring rest to your soul.
Jesus is sufficient, For each thing you may face. Come now, and walk with Him; Find His amazing grace.
Jesus knows your weakness, And wants to give His pow’r. Hear His voice now calling, To you, this very hour?
Come; find rest in Jesus, That no where else is found. Be still; and know He’s God; Let His sweet peace abound.
Let Him bear your burdens, Laying them at His feet. Walking close to Jesus, You are in Him, complete.
By Faith Jansky
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
No one can hurt your feelings without your consent. No one can make you angry, disappointed, intimidated, or jealous.
Substitute any reactive emotion with the wisdom, strength and self control of The Holy Spirit. Whatever it is, no one can afflict you with it without your consent.
You can choose to see things differently when you depend upon The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to Jehovahs meaning instead of societies or your own faulty reasoning. It’s the only one you’ll ever need.
The people we interact with become how we treat them, more than we’d like to admit. That is why wicked company corrupts godly souls while godly souls mould us more into Christs character.
Where there are no boundaries in life, there is no respect for either you nor those around you. Joseph a son of Jehovah
May The Holy Spirit keep you from the wicked who drag you into the pig mire and guide you to the godly who help you transform into a beautiful child of Jehovah Joseph a son of Jehovah

Of Heaven and Earth. You are holy, Lord, the only God, and Your deeds are wonderful. You are strong. You are great. You are the Most High. You are Almighty. You, Holy Father are King of heaven and earth. You are Three and One, Lord God, all Good. You are Good, all Good, supreme Good, Lord God, living and true. You are love. You are wisdom. You are humility. You are endurance. You are rest. You are peace. You are joy and gladness. You are justice and moderation. You are all our riches, and You suffice for us. You are beauty. You are gentleness. You are our protector. You are our guardian and defender. You are our courage. You are our haven and our hope. You are our faith, our great consolation. You are our eternal life, Great and Wonderful Lord, God Almighty, Merciful Saviour.
Help me to spread Your fragrance wherever I go. Flood my soul with Your Spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, that my life may only be a radiance of Yours.
Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul.
Let them look up, and see no longer me, but only Jesus! Stay with me and then I will begin to shine as You shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
The light, O Jesus, will be all from You; none of it will be mine. It will be You, shining on others through me. Let me thus praise You in the way which You love best, by shining on those around me.
Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You. Amen.
—Inspired by John Henry Cardinal Newman’s own prayer, prayed by Mother Teresa daily after holy communion.
May you be blessed with many opportunities to shine the light of Christ’s love to others this day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
‘Why doesn’t God help me?’ I wondered.
He answered, ‘You didn’t ask.’
I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on gray and bleak
I wondered why God didn’t show me
He said, ‘But you didn’t seek’,
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys in the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
‘My child, you didn’t knock.’
I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.” -Author Unkown, This poem, “The Difference,” is public domain.
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Psalm 139:23-24 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I do not know about you but I have no desire for Jehovah to test me. That is a pretty brave request. I have gone through testing and it ain’t fun.
As well, no matter how strong of a Christian you think you are, you are still weak.
Come to think about it, that is a great reason to ask to be tested, to find out any area’s of weakness that needs work on and to not become overconfident.
Jehovah already knows our anxious thoughts and knows how to relieve them, usually for me it is by opening my understanding of Bible verses that encourage and strengthen me.
Sometimes we become complacent in our lives and unknowingly are doing things that are offensive unto Jesus.
We need the Holy Spirit to convict us of these ( do not worry, He is a good, kind and gentle teacher. There is no yelling or screaming. However, when we are obstinate, He will use strong manner to convince us to turn from these destructive habits).
Unlike the world, which is travelling down the Highway to Hell, Christ has an individual road for us to travel the we alone are to travel to our Heavenly Home. That is why we need the guidance of the best path finder, The Holy Spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide) bless me with the Holy Spirit to always provide help to me to remain on the Back Road to Heaven You have chosen no matter how hot and dusty and bumpy it is. I know the ultimate destination is worth it.
I honestly request this in the name of He who followed the most difficult road, the one that led to Calvary, for me, Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

I read this this morning in one of the daily devotionals sent to my email and would like to share it with you. May it give you pause to stop and meditate upon its wise words.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament
I will not doubt, though all my ships at sea Come drifting home with broken masts and sails; I will believe the Hand which never fails From seeming evil worketh good for me. And though I weep because those sails are tattered, Still will I cry, while my best hopes lie shattered; I trust in You.I will not doubt, though all my prayers return Unanswered from the still, white realm above; I will believe it is an all-wise love Which has refused these things for which I yearn. And though at times I cannot keep from grieving, Yet the pure ardor of my fixed believing Undimmed shall burn.
I will not doubt, though sorrows fall like rain, And troubles swarm like bees about a hive; I will believe the heights for which I strive Are only reached by anguish and by pain. And though I groan and writhe beneath my crosses, I yet shall see through my severest losses The greater gain.
I will not doubt. Well anchored is this faith, Like some staunch ship, my soul braves every gale; So strong its courage that it will not quail To breast the mighty unknown sea of death. Oh, may I cry, though body parts with spirit,
I do not doubt, so listening worlds may hear it, With my last breath.

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Please my Beloved, bless me this day with Your firm courage as I venture through the day. When I am tempted to quit bless me with Your encouragement to continue on. Bless me with a gracious spirit when things do not go my way. Please bless me with the fortitude to do whatever task it is You have assigned for me to accomplish this day. In the name of He who loves the greatest Jesus Christ I sincerely ask. Amen Amen.”
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
