As most of you probably know, I have a flip calendar of writings by Sarah Young and her "Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence". I don't always get every day's read, but they are all good. This is yesterday's:

"As you get out of bed in the morning, be aware of My Presence with you. You may not be thinking clearly yet, but I am. Your early morning thoughts tend to be anxious ones until you get connected with Me. Invite Me into your thoughts by whispering My Name. Suddenly your day brightens and feels more user-friendly. You cannot dread the day that is vibrant with My Presence.

"You gain confidence through knowing that I am with you......that you face nothing alone. Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: 'If such and such happens, can I handle it?' The true question is not whether you can cope with whatever happens, but whether you and I together can handle anything that occurs. It is this you-and-I together factor that give you confidence to face the day cheerfully."

~ taken from Psalm 5:3; Psalm 63:1 (NKJV); Philippians 4:13
