Spiritual formation is moving from doubt to trust. Focus on the promises<br />
of God; build your trust in Him. Let the meaning of the words bring rest<br />
to the place where you need it most and rest in the presence of God. Listen<br />
to His gracious and gentle invitation:<br />
Come to the table<br />
Come, come to the table with me<br />
Come to the inner room<br />
Where you can rest your soul<br />
Abide in me<br />
For apart from me, you can do nothing<br />
“…Quietness in the<br />
presence of God is a way to<br />
set our whole being free to<br />
worship Him, to adore<br />
Him, to renew our love for<br />
Him and rest in Him…”<br />
When things might not be too clear<br />
When journey might not be too smooth<br />
When future might not be too bright<br />
Where roads can be too rough<br />
Where visions can be too blurred<br />
Where life can be too burdensome<br />
Where tears seems no one understands<br />
Where relationships seems all broken<br />
Where dreams seems all shattered<br />
Listen to my soft and gentle voice<br />
I am here, child<br />
Never too far from you<br />
Just look up to me<br />
If that's the threshold you need to cross<br />
I won't stand in your way<br />
But I will be with you all the way<br />
Trust in me<br />
Never doubt my love for you<br />
For you are my children<br />
You are very dear to me<br />
I have a plan for you<br />
Plan to prosper you not to harm you<br />
To give you hope and a future<br />
See through the eyes of faith<br />
Find your place dear child<br />
A place I have designed for you<br />
Work on that and I will bring it to fruitions<br />
Sow seeds and nurture it<br />
You will bear much fruits for me in due seasons<br />
Let us spend a moment of quietness before the Lord and meditate on<br />
His words.<br />
Prayer: Dear Gracious Lord Jesus, You are the Vine, we are the<br />
branches. Bless this moment as we prepare to enter into the quiet and<br />
rest with you. Amen<br />
