Day two of our fast! What has the Lord been giving you?

““But it’s not too late,” declares Yahweh. “Come back to me now with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Tearing your clothes in sorrow is not enough— tear open your hearts!” Come back to Yahweh your God, for he is gracious to welcome you home and compassionate to embrace you. Yahweh is slow to anger and so rich in extravagant love for you. He is always ready to forgive and cancel judgment. Who knows if he will not turn around and show pity, leaving behind a blessing. Then you can bring offerings of grain and wine to be presented to Yahweh your God.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Today we begin our fast for California and our children! The blood of Jesus can fix anything! Oh that God would hear our cries and deliver us!

“Lord, can’t you hear my cry, my bitter complaint? Keep me safe from this band of criminals and from the conspiracy of these wicked men. They gather in their secret counsel to destroy me. Can’t you hear their slander, their lies? Their words are like poison-tipped arrows shot from the shadows. They are unafraid and have no fear of consequences. They persist with their evil plans and plot together to hide their traps. They boast, “No one can see us or stop us!” They search out opportunities to pervert justice as they plan the “perfect crime.” How unsearchable is their endless evil! They try desperately to hide the deep darkness of their hearts. But all the while God has his own fire-tipped arrows! Suddenly, without warning, they will be pierced and struck down. Staggering backward, they will be destroyed by the very ones they spoke against. All who see this will view them with scorn. Then all will stand awestruck over what God has done, seeing how he vindicated the victims of these crimes. The lovers of God will be glad, rejoicing in the Lord. They will be found in his glorious wraparound presence, singing songs of praise to God!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭64‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭TPT‬

🌿 In a world that never seems to slow down, God invites us to do something different.

Be still.

Not because life is perfect.
Not because every question has been answered.
But because He is still God.

When we quiet our hearts, we make room to hear His voice, experience His peace, and remember that He is in control.

Whatever today holds, you don’t have to carry it alone. Pause for a moment, breathe deeply, and place it in God’s hands.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Take a few minutes today to step away from the noise and spend time with the One who never changes.
