Yesterday's entry from Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling:  Enjoying Peace in His Presence" (I haven't read today's yet; it is probably good too!):

"COME TO ME when you are hurting, and I will soothe your pain. Come to Me when you are joyful, and I will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over. I am All you need, just when you need it. Your deepest desires find fulfillment in Me alone.

"This is the age of self-help. Bookstores with books about 'taking care of number one', making oneself the center of all things. The main goal of those methodologies is to become self-sufficient and confident. You, however, have been called to take a 'road less traveled': continual dependence on Me. True confidence comes from knowing you are complete in My Presence. Everything you need has its counterpart in Me."

Young takes her thoughts from these two Bible verses:

John 15:5:  (Jesus speaking): "Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can't do a thing."

James 1:4:  "So let your patience grow, and don't try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete."
