We invite you to
join us the rest of September and draw close to the Lord in the sixth chapter
of Matthew. Read it slowly daily and ask the Lord how He wants you to
immediately adjust your daily walk with Him accordingly.
·
He is calling us to “secret”
prayer, fasting, and charity. “Secret” means face-to-face, self-sacrificial,
intimate walking with Him--by His Spirit, not our flesh.
·
He is calling us to pray the Lord’s
Prayer daily, very slowly. Take time to pray one phrase and pause. Let the Holy
Spirit prompt you to prayer conversation with the Lord according to each
phrase. Pray like He teaches and watch what happens.
·
He is calling us to treasure only
Him in our hearts.
·
He is calling us to keep our eyes
only on His Face.
·
He is calling us to serve only Him
as our loving Master.
·
He is calling us away from
corrosive worry into continual worship.
·
He is waiting to help us. He will
do the heavy lifting, our small part is to surrender.
Come to Him by
surrendering your burdens.
Take His Yoke by
surrendering control.
Learn from Him by
surrendering your undivided attention.
He knows what you
need. Rest upon Him.
Kim and I love
you all very much. We give thanks that at some point in the past we have had
the privilege to encourage you in your personal walk with Jesus. We look
forward to the next time.
Until then, come
rest in His love and see what He has for you in Matthew chapter 6. He is
anxious to relieve your anxiety so He can bring His non-anxious Presence into
others’ lives through you.
Thank you for all
the ways many of you support Come Rest with your prayers, time, talents,
financial gifts, book and art purchases!
Keep sending your prayer requests. Kim and I pray for you as well as our
Tuesday Night Come Rest intercessors!
Blessings,
Richard
