Quotes about Guidance

MY PROMISE to be with you always ensures that you never have to face anything alone. The evil one uses three Ds to keep you from finding Me: distractions, deception, and discouragement. As you resist these tricky tactics and look for Me, you will find Me.

Search for Me as for hidden treasure. I will be found by you.

AM WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. You face nothing alone—nothing! When you feel anxious, know that you are focusing on the visible world and leaving Me out of the picture. The remedy is simple: Fix your eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen. Verbalize your trust in Me, the Living One who sees you always. I will get you safely through this day and all your days.

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in your preparations: helping you form prayers that will flow readily out of your heart. Then practice saying them to Me, until you're intimately familiar with them. When you encounter trouble of any kind, reach into your arsenal of prayers and speak one or more of them boldly. The enemy will retreat, and I will draw near.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. —PROVERBS 16:9

Rather than trying to maintain control over your life, abandon yourself to My will. Though this may feel frightening—even dangerous—the safest place to be is in My will.

I will not show you what is on the road ahead, but I will thoroughly equip you for the journey.

WHEN YOU BEGIN THE DAY with a muddled mind, you tend to ask yourself the wrong question—whether you will be able to cope with whatever happens—but the true question is whether you and I together can handle the circumstances you face. Broaden your perspective so you can "see" Me there alongside you—strengthening, guiding, and encouraging you. While you meditate on this joyous focus, the qualms you had about the day will gradually give way to cheerful confidence.

Stay on the path of Life with Me, enjoying My Presence. Choose to trust Me in all circumstances.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. —PROVERBS 3:5

I am training you to practice Peace that overpowers darkness. Collaborate with Me in this training. Do not grow weary and lose heart.

I AM YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. I plan out each day and have it ready for you, long before you arise from bed. I also provide the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what's on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with Me. My Power flows freely into you through our open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare.
