Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence", has thoughts for every day of the year. Some days when I read what she has written, I think, "That's nice."

Other times, I think, "Wow! I need that today!" Today is one of those days:

"Spending time alone with Me is essential for your well-being. It is not a luxury or an option; it is a necessity. Therefore, do not feel guilty about taking time to be with Me. Remember that Satan is the accuser of believers. He delights in heaping guilt feelings upon you, especially when you are enjoying My Presence. When you feel Satan's arrows of accusation, you are probably on the right track. Use your shield of faith to protect yourself from him. Talk with Me about what you are experiencing, and ask Me to show you the way forward. 'Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.' 'Come near to Me, and I will come near to you.'

Verses Young features:  Revelation 12:10; Ephesians 6:16; James 4:7-8
