Have you ever woke up with clarity and direction from the Lord? If so, you've been visited in the night with the Lord's instruction!
The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart.
Day and night I’ll stick with God;
I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.
Psalm 16:7-8 The Message
PS: The best way to get that Holy Spirit inspiration is to be thinking about Him as you fall asleep.
Father,
So
thankful You give us counsel and confirmation. Please, Holy Spirit, give us
good discernment, and let us act on the counsel You give us.
Where
is there a God like You? There is no Rock to hold onto but You. We will cling
with all our might to You. Protect us and guide us. We are also grateful that
You have said You would never leave us nor forsake us. (See Hebrews 13:5)
Therefore, as we begin this new year, we will not be shaken by the negativity
around us. We know You got this!
We
love You with all our hearts. In Jesus’ name, so be it, amen.

Happy New Year to all!
Could you take a small break and enter in the comments what types of posts you would like to see on the Journey in 2026? More biblical insights? More essays and thoughts of daily life? Or, more scripture-based prayers? Let me know if there is a topic on your heart. I'm here to serve you.

I love the Message’s rendering of the verse! We do indeed have a good thing going!
ReplyDeleteAmen! If only everyone knew!
ReplyDeleteAmen, praying with you today. Um, I think I'd be interested in seeing some life posts reflecting wisdom bits from your perspective age range . I'm mid life and sometimes like to write about mid life Musings. Great question.
