Take 10 minutes today. If it can't be now, ask the Lord to remind you to get those 10 minutes later. Close the door to all distractions. Be ready to meet the lover of your soul. Listen to this song and praise Him! .... Hang in there... Stay. Be willing to join, to sing, and raise your hands to worship Him.
Whatever you face today can't compare to the power and love of our Father. What is impossible to you is possible for Him and with Him.
Before the retreat team gathered in September to talk about our spring retreat, I had already decided that I didn’t want an overnight retreat. There was no way I was going to help arrange a weekend away. Just thinking about all the planning and work – I was exhausted. Besides, wasn’t last year’s day retreat absolutely amazing - why tinker with success, I thought. Little did I know that I would be out numbered – 5 to 1. Nothing I said would persuade them to only have a day retreat (I think I even said go home and pray about it and while you are at it find a place where we could go that was cheap). I thought I had set them up for failure. Little did I know the Father’s hand was already at work orchestrating all the details for our time away in March. His hand was already working on my heart showing me MY need to have time away.
