Heart of the Holy Spirit


Welcome to the Secret Place!
Come and enter into the place of God's presence. Let Him take your cares, and burdens for a few minutes and come into His rest. Let Him refresh your spirit.Step through that portal between this earthly realm and the realm of the Spirit where He awaits you.
Here in the quiet, let Him breathe new life into your Spirit as God's peace settles upon your soul. His hands are extended to take your cares upon Himself for He cares for you. Allow the Holy Spirit to refresh you and minister His peace.
Can you feel that quiet enveloping your soul?
In His presence all fear is gone. In His presence the cares of this world diminish. In His presence the anxious thoughts are quieted. New perspective emerges as you rest from the striving.

Jesus said to His disciples, "Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is life not more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all of his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you?"
Having compassion on their weak understanding of how much the Father loved them , He said gently, I believe, "Oh! you of little faith! So do not worry saying 'what will I eat?' or 'what will I drink?' or 'what will I wear?' for the pagans run after these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all of these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." ~~Matthew 6:25-34

Take a minute to focus on His kindness. Consider some of His many blessings. Salvation is a good place to start. What are you most grateful for this day? Consider how He has demonstrated His faithfulness to you.
Let the Holy Spirit remind you of those personal blessings. Release worry to the care of your faithful God. Trust Him. Let those anxious thoughts flow into the river of forgetfulness. Let them be washed away now
