Thank you Sheila for this reminder. I was planning a full day of "things" I needed to get done but now I am going to just set it all aside and refresh with a true Sabbath!!

Wow! What a timely message and I did not even know that this existed! This message is so true and I never would have taken into consideration that Corrie Ten Boom had fleas in that consentration camp, but so many lives came to Jesus because of it. I am challenged and I am encouraged at the same time. I used to believe that if bad things happened to Christians it was because they had some form of sin in their lives, but that is so far from the truth. It rains on the just and the unjust, but we have to make sure we are anchored in for the storms of life that does come on each one of us!

This is such a wonderful, wonderful article! This is so true because so many times I have tried to live without stopping and getting full of the Word and resting. Then you are not prepared to fight when you most need too and the enemy will take advantage of you when this happens. I am going to make sure that I get proper rest and infilling of the Word today!

Know who/what the enemy is. Trust in the Lord who is by your side. His voice will guide and save. Unsinkable hope is in the Lord. Hope vs. despair has a difference between them. One gives life. The other challenges it.

My husband has been out of work for over 2 years now. All though this entire time we have had that unbelievable peace of the Lord in our life. We sleep soundly at night knowing that everything is in the Lords hands and that He will never give us more than we can handle and that in His time my husband will get a job. He is so wonderful and faithful.

I have always thought I lived each day one day at a time until my husband passed away in 2008. I began worrying then about my future. I knew I shouldn't, but to trust God. He had always pulled me through the toughest times. This was one of them. I prayed and prayed to get control of not worrying. Once I gave up taking sugar in my coffee for Lent. It worked, and I lost weight. So this year I am giving up worrying for Lent. So far it's working pretty good. Not only that but today God showed me a better picture of my finances. Not to worry!

Hi RHS, I find being anxious about the future only causes my faith that God really has a plan for my life to falter. I am living in my car right now and there are times I am not sure where my next dollar is going to come from, but His grace never fails me. I was at the the grocery store the other day buying a "tall boy" can of beer, and to my surprise there behind me was the deacon of the Catholic church I attend! Needless to say I was quite embarrassed and tried to cover it up, but I don't think he even noticed. I'm glad it happened because it made me realize just how far away from God I can be sometimes and how important staying close means to me. God Loves you and so do I! Kenny Woodstock Illinois USA

Thank you for my first Positive Minute. Though I believe the message, I do need reminding of it so often. Enjoyed it so much, I have forwarded it on to my son. Thanks again and God bless you all at your Ministry.

I prayed for something that would cause me to feel more powerfully God's spirit of love and peace. As I read this I was opened to fully experience God's love and peace. Praise God for the power of words.

The "peace of God" shone through as my husband faced a sixteen (16) hour surgery to remove a four inch tumor at Toronto General Hospital on Tuesday, March 09. His recovery is amazing with every report positive. God's Word is truth. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. "Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind be stayed on THEE, because he trusteth in THEE!" Let the name of the Lord be magnified at Toronto General Hospital, Ontario, Canada, knowing that complete victory is given through our great physician and healer, Jesus Christ and those who serve with Him. God's faithful Love abides NOW and FOREVER!

Day before yesterday as I sat in a courtroom, even under those trying circumstances, I felt God's presence. Even though there were many opposing people and all seemed lost, I left it all in the Hands Of God and knew no matter what, God was fighting my battle. I was in a place of peace and safety even as the storm clouds raged around me. Please continue to pray for me as this battle is still raging. May the Peace Of Our Lord Be With You Always. God Be with everyone who is fighting a battle where they feel overwealmed, weather it be financial, legal, emotional, homeless, people in prison, and all who need your help. Teach us to be your hands in this world so we may bless others as you have blessed us. In Jesus Name I Pray.....

The meditation today on knowing God's peace in every situation is just what I needed as I am about to minister to a deaf fellah in our church. He lacks peace concerning how to know God's will as he prays. I have mentioned his situation to the Prayer Community and many are praying for him as we meet. Thank you.

I knew God was present and He was carrying me through the fire. May God Bless You and Each and Every One of your prayer partners in a great and mighty way. Peace Be With You Always. Terry

I experience that peace yesterday in a very trying situtation that was totally out of my control. I faced many obsticles but knew no matter how hopeless things seemed to be or how impossible they may seem to overcome, Jesus was in control. I gave all my worries and fears to him and he gave me peace. I know he was with me and probably even carrying me on his shoulders. May the peace of the Lord Be With You Always.

That is a very insightful illumination of Psalm 23; you can really picture the whole scene there. Jesus our Shepherd leading us to all the right places where we can rest and be at peace; and going ahead of us to prepare the way; protecting us and comforting us; and all we have to do is keep our eye on our Shepherd; and trust him to lead us safely through whatever we are facing in our lives at this time; that we will come out OK on the other side of the valley, and we will be blessed for it. A very comforting and encouraging message today ... thanks!

I have spent most of my life living for gain and trying to "get ahead" in life, but in recent years I've realized that I do need the peace that God can bring to life when you put His will first and not your own and that is the most important thing. Success on my own terms without God's help and glory means nothing to me personally. John 14:27 connects with me today in a way that I have many questions today about what exactly the bible says about capital punishment. God allowed it in in the Old Testament but I have thought that Christ changed the laws under the New Covenant. I really am confused about this subject but I can hear God telling me to just have peace and answers and truth will come in time. see you, Kenny Woodstock Illinois

Wow! This really hit home for me. My kids are grown and on their own, but we have dogs in the house and are currently having to use gates. These gates allow us to keep two dogs apart who had a fight and are still angry at each other. One dog is confined to the kitchen and master bedroom, and a gate (actually a banquet table on its side) separates the kitchen from the living room, where the other dog is now. The second gate is a baby gate between the living room and the back bedrooms and back door. It keeps the dogs from getting to the back door when we need to have it open for more than a moment. We are finding more and more uses for the gates, allowing us to do what we need to do without losing dogs out a door, having two dogs we love hurt each other again, or just keeping them out of the kitchen for my sanity. Now, if there was only something I could use to keep my cats out of the kitchen! Oh -- and yes, my legs are getting quite a workout, hurdling over the kitchen "gate."

I recently had to force myself to get into the habit of taking a sabbath rest, and intiailly it was boring and frustrating; the day seemed to go on forever and I felt like I was wasting a day, thinking of all the things I should be doing. But the day is a gift and a command from God, and I am thankful for it and enjoy it now. His ways are always best.

Thank you for this encouraging word , at times we would see ourselves in darkness , and then it is hard to focus , we ask the question how long , or when will it pass . Turning to the Psalms is a great comfort in dark times . IMMANUEL GOD is with us .Thank you HEAVENLY FATHER .

By staying in touch with the people of God and believing that they are out there also struggling through the darkness with hope in the promises of the Lord to be with us. Believing that the Holy Spirit is God's gift to us and that through His awesome power to redeem, He will. Fighting doubt, fear and rebellion with the honesty of what is evil in His sight and what is good. Choosing to do the good and asking for His help in all this. Knowing that nothing was made that is made and that He is the greatest of all things, faith, hope and that the greatest is love. God is love. Without Him we have nothing. He is all we need. He will not fail.

This was such a blessing to me! I have described some trials I went through a few years ago as walking in a dark tunnel. For the first time in my life, I couldn't feel God's presence. I felt like I was just inching my way through that dark tunnel, groping the walls, unable to see any light. Even though I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, I knew I just needed to keep walking towards where I knew I would see that light eventually. I knew my Heavenly Father was there beside me even though I couldn't feel or hear Him. How did I "know these things" because I trusted in my Lord's word, character and promises. Reading this today was like putting the last pieces of a puzzle into place...it put into words what I felt and experienced. It is truly in the dark places that our faith finds it's sure footing and what a comfort to know that the darkness is as light to the Lord. Thank you for this message today!

I am going through a very tough time at home. Therefore, for the past couple of days, I have been repeating over and over again - Lord, You are my strength, You are my song, You are my salvation.
