A Message from Jesus Christ

My dear child, this is Jesus speaking to you before you sleep. Lay down your day now — every small worry, every harsh word you said to yourself, every unfinished task — and rest. Breathe slowly: in... and out. Feel my presence beside you. Remember my promise of peace: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” I speak this to you now — John chapter 14 verse 27. Let my peace wrap around your shoulders like a warm blanket. Forgive yourself tonight. I have forgiven you; accept that forgiveness and release the heavy replay of the day. If guilt returns, tell it the truth: you are loved, you are forgiven, you are being formed. Come to me with that tired place in your heart and I will give you rest. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” — Matthew chapter 11 verses 28 through 30. Trust God with tomorrow. You do not carry tomorrow’s load alone. Let go of what you cannot change for tonight and leave it in loving hands. If anxious thoughts come, say softly: Lord, I give this to you. Picture placing each worry into my open palm and stepping back. Now settle your body, breathe in my peace again, and sleep in the assurance that you are held. I will watch over you through the night and meet you with a new merciful morning. I love you. Amen.
