Today's (July 19) Sarah Young "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence". It's a good one:

"Bring Me all your feelings,
even the ones you wish you didn't have.
Fear and anxiety still plague you.
Feeling per se are not sinful,
but they can be temptations to sin.
Blazing missiles of fear fly
at you day and night: 
these attacks from the evil one
come at you relentlessly.
Use your shield of faith to extinguish those 
flaming arrows. Affirm your trust in Me,
regardless of how you feel.
If you persist,
your feelings will eventually
fall in line with your faith.

"Do not hide from your fear
or pretend it isn't there.
Anxiety that you hide in the recesses
of your heart 
will give birth to fear of fear;
a monstrous stepchild.
Bring your anxieties
out into the Light of My Presence,
where we can deal with them together.
Concentrate on trusting Me,
and fearfulness will 
gradually lose its foothold
within you."


~ taken from Ephesians 6:16; 1 John 1: 5 - 7; Isaiah 12:2
