This is 100% copied from my devotion called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. It is written in first person with God as the speaker and is just too good not to pass along...
"Let me prepare you for the day that stretches out before you. I know exactly what this day will contain, whereas you have only vague ideas about it. You would like to see a map, showing all the twists and turns of your journey. You'd feel more prepared if you could somehow visualize what is on the road ahead. However, there is a better way to be prepared for whatever you will encounter today: Spend quality time with Me.
I will not show you what is on the road ahead, but I will thoroughly equip you for the journey. My living Presence is your Companion each step of the way. Stay in continual communication with Me, whispering My Name whenever you need to redirect your thoughts. Thus, you can walk through this day with your focus on Me. My abiding Presence is the best road map available."
I pray this is just what you needed to hear today. I love the way God speaks right to my soul and knows exactly where I am - mentally and spiritually - every moment of each day.
I absolutely love that book! It has brought me through a lot - not to say the book is a 'magic pill', but by reading it and the Bible daily (and sometimes many times daily), I'm able to stay connected to God and receive everything I need from him.
