Daughter, in Me shall you find your rest. In Me shall you find your peace/composure. In Me shall you find your love/delight. I am moving in your heart day by day recreating it in My love. I speak peace, be still to your fears and desires. Know My timing, My will are perfect. There is a plan for you and him. You know not who he is but he is in My plans and tender care.
Balance is the key. Seek Me, press in as you are. Minister My Word and love those around you. I shall set you free in Me. Selah.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. (NIV)
Psalm 147:11
the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. (NIV)
Psalm 20:4
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. (NIV)
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. (NIV)
Psalm 118:5
In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free. (NIV)
Psalm 142:7
Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me. (NIV)
Prayer: Thank You Lord for perfect timing. Thank You for Your Body to be arms extended and hands stretched out to each other. Help me to never even think or hesitate from saying "yes, Lord, yes." And thank You for Mick and our 24 plus years of marriage! AMEN (Poem obviously written WAY after the word above was laid on my heart!)

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)Excellent as always :-) So filled with Love, cleary you sit at the feet of Jesus. Thank you for being an encourager and an example. Blessings always to you and Mick and all the 4 legged creatures :-)Yah, they think it is time to eat, imagine that?! We met at YWAM and they had womderful teachings on relationships - I should do a piece about that because NO one seems to teach PRAYING about a relationship before your emotions run away with you....Marijo
Great devotional. The only real "Mr. Right" is God himself, but we can make it work if we follow the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength in our marriage, and demonstrate unwavering committment in His strength. Congrats on 24 plus years.I totally hear you! Thanks for taking time to read and comment on this piece! Marijo (Mary Jo)
