Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence", daily flip calendar (or book!) is written as though Jesus is talking to the reader. She uses Bible verses to back up her words.

Every day is a good writing; I especially liked yesterday's. It might not 'speak' to you, but it may, to a friend described in the writing:

"Thank Me for the conditions that are requiring you to 'be still'. Do not spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away, waiting impatiently to be active again. Some of the greatest works in My Kingdom have been done from sick beds and prison cells. Instead of resenting the limitations of a weakened body, search for My way in the midst of these very circumstances. Limitations can be liberating when your strongest desire is living close to Me.

"Quietness and trust enhance your awareness of My Presence with you. Do not despise these simple ways of serving Me. Although you feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a powerful statement in spiritual realms. My Strength and Power show themselves most effective in weakness."

Zechariah 2:13; Isaiah 30:15; 2 Corinthians 12:9
