I long for a heart connection with you, Creator God, and with Jesus Christ,
through the Holy Spirit.

MIND




Then they (the people of Gadara) went out to see
what was done: and came to Jesus, and found
the man, out of whom the devils were departed,
sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his
right mind: and they were afraid.
Luke 8:35


Meditation
How does this fear of the Lord resonate within me?


Affirmation
Demons flee from the presence of the Lord Jesus.


Prayer
May I sit quietly as by the feet of the Lord Jesus today and so receive peace of mind.
