  1. Thank you for this message. It was an answer to prayer that I had tried to pray regarding a couple of things I had been struggling with. This message helped put things into perspective for me. You are my favorite writer. Thank you for your obedience.

  2. Robin, I’ve been dwelling on these words and passages this morning, soaking them in. This is so good. Just where I needed to be today. Thank you!

  3. Dear Robin………One of my favorite scriptures is “Be still and know that I am God”. I have so much on my plate right now, and they have been there for years. I try to be patient, but sometimes I fail at that as I would just like to get 1 thing completely finished. So far that has not been my experience. Yes, at one time I was moving too fast, ahead of God although I did not realize that I was. After reading so many of your (incourage) community devotionals, I knew that what I was doing was wrong and I have slowed down as your words told us today. At am almost 78 years old and I think my mind was telling me, you don’t know how much time you have left on the Earth so you NEED to get these done. The one thing and I have mentioned this so many times is I yearn to have my son and daughter-in-law to allow me to see and/or at least talk to him. He was 11 when this started and he is close to 15 years old now. I’m sure you know how much boys mature in different ways in those 4 years. What does he look like, and what is he interested in, and how is school going. I just breaks my heart every single day. I don’t know what else to do. My ex-husband’s dementia is much worse now, but I only find out through his friends that I talk to. He will not see me. I don’t hate him, I had to divorce him due to my own safety and the fact that my son disowned me as his mother. I have no one else as all my relatives and parents have passed on years ago. My Holy Spirit talks to me every day and we have a very wonderful connection. He helps me so very much and is so caring and loving. There is so much more to this story, but I have already took up too much of your time. It was so good to see your writing today Robin. I always love reading your devotionals and I will certainly save this one and re-read it for it has given me some more HOPE. Hope and love and trust are the most important things to me now. So many of these 100 people who live in the facility where I live that I thought I could trust have betrayed me in a terrible way. They do not like the clothes I wear, but as God says, I am what I am and have always been well dressed. I can’t change to sweatshirts and sweatpants. it is not me. Take care Robin and I send to you my prayers to Jesus for having placed you in my life. I smiled when I opened my email today and saw your name. Please have a blessed week. Love to you as well……………………..Betsy Basile

  4. Robin,

    Thank you for your devotion. To answer your question, The Holy Spirit is prompting me to rest in the beauty of spring! I’m so grateful for this season. While it is busy, God provides peace for a good night’s sleep. I sing His praises.

  5. Robin thank you for today’s message. Love it. I found in my own life. I say many of us that are saved have also. We can get so busy in our lives. That we don’t have the time to sit before God and be quiet for that long. That Satan the Devil put things in our mind when we go to spend time with God in saying our prayers and reading his word and spend that quite time with God reading his word. Letting it speak to us through the Holy Spirit to say what God is saying to us through it. Satan the Devil I found in times like this. Will put things in our mind to make us think I have to do this and this by a certain time. Or keep us busy in other ways that we have less time with God to be listing to him. In this we are not spending the time with God to hear what he has to say to us as these distractions get the better of us. So we just read God’s word quickly and say our prayers as quickly as possible. As we think must get the jobs I have done. As no one else will do them I have to do them. So we are not letting God speak. I have been there. Also Satan the Devil will get people to distract you by saying can I talk to you. You stop reading the Bible and saying your prayers to listen to them. They only do that when your reading the Bible and saying your prayers. As Satan the Devil puts things in there mind to get you stop spending time with God. As they say they have something to tell you. You have to stand firm and say when I finish my time with God in reading his word and prayer. They might say that is Satan making them by having them think I must tell you now. Satan will do anything to stop you spending time with God. I said this to my Husband in the past your being a Satan helper as your distracting me and trying to get me to listen to you stop spending time with God. I say I’ll talk to you when finished reading the Bible and saying my prayers. He will puff say it will not take long what I have to tell you. Expecting you to listen to him stop your time with God. That Satan again using one of his many tactics to do what he can to stop your time with God. I say to my Husband unless it an emergency what you have to tell me. You have to wait until I am finished my time with God. My Husband don’t like that. But I have to stand firm. I bet others are the same. If you don’t do this you’ll not hear God speaking to you. Love Dawn Ferguson-Little Enniskillen Co. Fermanagh N.Ireland xx in my prayers all in incourage
