Tracy 4/25/2026 6:00:10 PM MST | MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) Prayer is the nearest approach to God and the highest enjoyment of Him that we are capable of in this life. (William Law) PRAY ABOUT IT: When we think of enjoying God, we often think about the goose-bump emotions that can result in some highly charged worship services. But to Christians who know better, emotions are never a measurement of the spiritual life. The true enjoyment of God is deeper than our emotions and is only known by those who meet God in prayer. Even a brief time of enjoying God is priceless and far more sustaining than all the goose-bumps you can muster. Today is an opportunity for you to enjoy your God. And by the way, He will enjoy you too. A calm hour with God is worth a whole lifetime with man. (Robert Murray McCheyne) | |||

COME AWAY MY BELOVED by FRANCES J. ROBERTS Seek Me early; seek Me late; seek Me in the midst of the day. Ye need Me in the early hours for direction and guidance and for My blessings upon thy heart. Ye need Me at the end of the day to commit into My hands the day's happenings - - - both to free thyself of the burdens and to give them over into My hands that I may continue to work things out. And ye need Me more than ever in the busy hours, in the activities and responsibilities, that I may give thee My grace and My tranquility and My wisdom. I do not ask you to take time for Me with the intention of placing a burden upon thee in requiring thee to do so. Rather than adding a requirement, I seek to lift thy load. Rather than burdening thee with a devotional obligation, I desire to take from thee the tensions of life. | |||

COME AWAY MY BELOVED FRANCIS J. ROBERTS THE ART OF COMMITTAL O My child, lay down your heart in My hand, and let Me heal it. Yea, let Me gather up thy tears, for they are precious to Me (Psalm 56:8). Ye have not been suffering alone, but I Myself have been near thee all along the way. My heart has felt all that ye have felt. Ye do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with your sufferings, but one who experienced every grief and human emotion common to man. And yet, in the midst of these experiences of suffering, He did not sin. Therefore, He is one who is able to succour thee (Hebrews 2:18). He is one, who having walked the same path Himself, is able to teach thee how that in the midst of these human experiences of hurts and frustrations and loneliness and heart-ache, ye may rise above the natural tendencies to fall into the sins of self-pity, self-reproach, depression of spirit, resentments, and the like. It is not easy. Not only is it not easy, but in the natural, in the flesh, it is impossible. But the same grace which I promised to the apostle Paul to help him bear his affliction, this same grace I will give to you (2 Cor. 12:9). Ye may bring the whole of your burden to Me. I will help you as the days go by, and as the trials come and go, and as the learning process continues, I will teach you the spiritual secrets of the art of committal. For in complete and repeated committal lies the key to victories that can be thus more easily won, less painfully achieved, and more quickly gained, so that the valleys become less deep and less dark, and more quickly passed through. "Man is born," it is written, "to trouble, as the sparks fly upward" (Job 5:7). This is true as surely as rain falls and snow is cold. But it is equally true, and gloriously so, that I have promised, and I will deliver thee out of all thy troubles. So will ye now take the first step in this experience of committal, and give Me your heart? Make it as tangible a transaction as possible, and visualize your own hand laying the physical organ of your heart in My hands. Say to Me, "Take this, Loving Master and Wonderful Lord, and do with it as pleases Thee." He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3) | |||
