“Hold on! Remain steadfast in all that I tell you to do. Gift yourself to others. Become the conduit of love to those who need to see Jesus. Be still and know that I am your source for all that you need. Look for and hope in My Word to complete its work. Spend time with Me. I am moving mountains on your behalf. I am completing you. I am for you. I am with you. I love you!”

Psalm 46:10a NIV

“Be still, and know that I am God...”

Gal. 5:1 NIV 

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

I Th. 2:13 AMP

And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it].

I Th. 5:24 AMP

Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you].

Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

1) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3) Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Sometimes mountains seem immovable, obstacles appear to be strewn everywhere, and tasks become so close to your face that you find it impossible to see around them. But, there’s Jesus!

Focus for me when I can’t focus, Lord,
