Immediately we both could feel God\u2019s peace and we knew He was safe in the arms of his heavenly Father.<\/p>\n<p>What an awesome promise to hold on to! When we are intentionally seeking God and abiding under the shadow of the Almighty, we are protected and we have nothing to fear. It reminds me of the image of a mother hen with all of her chicks safe and protected under her wing. We are safe in the shadow of our Father.<\/p>\n<p>God wants us to be abiding under the shadow of the Almighty not just in the shade. He wants a day-to-day relationship with us not just a Sunday morning visit. God wants to be a part of our everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Jesus said:<br \/>\nYes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them,<br \/>\nwill produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.<br \/>\nJohn 15:5 NLT<\/p>\n<p>This is so very true! I know there have been MANY times in my life where I have tried to do things in my own strength and all I did was ending up depleting myself and rendering myself ineffective for the Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">* \u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0*<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heavenly Father, I pray for each woman reading this that we would be intentional about seeking first the kingdom of God and not let the distractions of life get in the way of our day-to-day relationship with You. \u00a0That we would put You in your rightful place&#8212;first in ALL things. and I thank You for the promise of protection under the shadow of the Almighty.
