  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says Yahweh, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11'13 WEB.
  
  It was another busy morning, and I had so much to do. I was under pressure to keep up with all the service calls I had scheduled, anxious to get the day underway. I had also told the Lord that I would start the morning with prayer time. Yet, when under pressure, I wrestled with it. Did I really have time? Maybe I could do it tomorrow'
  
  Finally, I just went into the room where I usually prayed, sat on the floor, and reclined against a bean bag. Then, I pulled a blanket over me and started to pray. I said about one sentence before the presence of the Lord descended on me so strongly that I began to weep.
  
  He spoke to me very clearly that morning. I came completely undone and just sat there weeping, overwhelmed with His presence for the next twenty minutes. Every fiber of my being felt encouraged and loved. The enemy had tried to rob me of that experience.
  
  That time, when I faced the hectic day ahead, I chose to put Him first. He touched me, and when I came out of my prayer room, the huge problems I faced now seemed insignificant. I no longer even cared! The rest of my day was filled with His grace and peace.
  
  Put the Lord first. Choose Him! True joy doesn't come in a pill. It comes from an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who miss out on knowing the Lord Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit miss the greatest ecstasy to be found on Earth.
  
  Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose You today! Please lead me into all that You have in store for me. I am Yours. Please speak to me in a way I understand and let me experience Your presence here on Earth. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
