February 15th devotion From Sarah Young’s daily devotional called Jesus Calling
Come to me with all your weaknesses: physical, emotional and spiritual. Rest in the comfort of My Presence, remembering that nothing is impossible with Me.
Pry your mind away from your problems so you can focus your attention on ME. Recall that I am able to do immeasurable more than all you ask or imagine. Instead of trying to direct Me to do this and that, seek to attune yourself to what I am already doing.
When anxiety attempts to wedge its way into your thoughts, remind yourself that I am your Shepherd. The bottom line is that I am taking care of you; therefore, you needn’t be afraid of anything. Rather than trying to maintain control over your life, abandon yourself to My will. Though his may feel frightening-even dangerous, the safest place to be is in My will.
Luke 1:37; Ephesians 3:20; Psalm 23:1-4

Well if this devotional reading just didn’t “fall” on my lap at the perfect timing. I try to read my daily devotional from Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling every day…some days I get lazy, forget or think I don’t have time. Last night when I went to bed I read February 14th and February 15th devotions. Sometimes I skip ahead thinking that well Jewish people think the day actually starts at sundown so I should just read ahead…I’m not Jewish but Jesus was..so whom am I to say when the day technically starts. Glad I read February 15th because it hit me right when and where He meant for it to hit….that moment…and my heart. It hit on many levels.
One: I’ve been struggling with not being the perfect person; perfect mom, perfect wife, perfect employee, and perfect volunteer. I need to give this act up…and I need to let go of the control. It’s so hard because you like your “image” but it’s so hard to keep it up.
Two: But it’s so hard to also show your weaknesses. I’m trying to remember that it’s God’s glory that I want to show. Show God shining through my weakness of the “good girl” as I like to call “her”
Three: When I’m in prayer time, I’m trying to process and figure out exactly what am struggling with so I can be specific on what my problems are and He can fix them. When I was telling my prayer needs at my bible study, one of my girl friends said, “Are you try to outsmart God?” Wow…I think… I was. I didn’t want to pray for patience with Finley…I didn’t want to be tested more with that. But I didn’t know what I wanted to exactly pray about. Thank God for my girl friends who can figure me out and know what I do need to pray about and keep in focused…Seeing Fin through God’s eyes.
