Jesus Listens: Daily Devotional Prayers of Peace, Joy, and Hope: By: Sarah Young
April 29th
Glorious Jesus,
Help me to lay down my problems long enough to gaze at You. Sometimes I picture myself standing at the edge of a magnificent ocean, on a beach covered with pebbles. The pebbles represent problems--mine, my family's, my friends', the world's. When I pick up these small stones and hold them close to my eyes, examining their details, my view of the grandeur all around me is blocked. Usually, as soon as I put down one pebble - problem, I pick up another. Thus I fail to enjoy the beauty of Your Presence and the blessing of Your unfailing Love.

The ocean represents You--endlessly glorious and continually present with me. I want to put down all the pebbles so I can experience Your loving Presence. As I wait with You, I can almost hear You whispering: "Choose Me, beloved. Choose to see Me--to find Me--in your moments."
I long for the day when seeking You continually will be a habit--a delightful habit that keeps me close to You on the path of Life.
In Your Exquisite Name, Amen.
