When quiet moments of meditation call to me, I still my thoughts. In this Holy place all is pure, fresh and new. I step in stillness leaving behind any past mistakes, letting the future wait. I wait on the Holy Spirit to usher me into His presence."But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." -Isaiah 40:31 KJV
I enter into His presence, gently and powerfully. I begin to receive in these precious moments of stillness. Prayers have already been prayed so there's no need to ask for anything. "I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah." - Psalm 32:5 KJV
My cleansing begins and so does the intimacy with God the Father. I give thanks as I bow down in total submission. It is an honor to be in the presence of God Almighty. Tears of gratefulness flow joyously and with complete surrender.
I am wrapped in a cloak of forgiveness which is always within reach. He leads me in revelations of prayer. I'm given instructions, my steps ordered. I see through spiritual eyes. There is clarity, peace and serenity. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit restore my soul. "One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple." -Psalm 27:4 (Amplified Bible)
He is Omniscient. He never leaves you to be with me. He is Omnipresent. Like a child calling for her father, I cry out to Him. He is there. He calls me friend and is the best friend I have ever had. He is El Shaddai, God Almighty. He is All-That and more! He is!
I now begin again, to live the life I was born-- a life of wisdom, strength, and understanding. I live a life of peace. For everything there is a season- this is my season of renewal. I pray the Prayer of Jabez as I leave the Realm where I was taken by the Holy Spirit.
Thank you, Sweet Holy Spirit, for the renewal of mind, body and soul. I am whole, well, and free! Now is my time to renew my dreams and let my faith expand. Now is the time to "mount up with wings as eagles" and soar!
