Conversations with God- Daily Manna

Fresh Manna.

How are you today Matthew?

I have been stuck. I had had a pause in our conversations. I have missed you. Today I slept a lot.

It’s okay Matthew. Everyone has good days and bad days. I noticed last night at church you were sad. It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to be down. Sometimes your depression gets too much for you. I get that.

I am looking forward to hearing you speak to me. I am really enjoying our conversations. I decided to sit down and listen to what You had to say because I missed You.

That is how I want everyone to feel. I want them to come to Me each day. No matter if they are going through a bit of depression or not, I want them to come to Me each day. I want to be the Bread of Life to each person. I want people to become so used to Me that they cannot do without Me. That is why these conversations are so good for you. It gives you a taste of who I am each day. When you go two days without Me, I want you to return to Me with a sense of expectancy. I want to be Your Daily Bread, your Fresh Manna.

It is comforting to talk to you. You understand me. You understand all of us including the readers. You know everything about us. You simply know how we feel. You know all about our lives. You know our weaknesses. You know what we need to hear. You know what to say to lift our spirits. I have been in a funk, a dip of depression and it is a little sad.

Yes I know. I am not a God without feelings. I can come inside you and feel how you are feeling. I can feel your sadness. I can feel you. And I know that your sadness doesn’t come from anywhere, except the fact that it is an attack on your life. That is why I want to be your daily portion. Part of you wants to retreat and move away from people when you get depressed. Part of you wants to leave even Us from Heaven who care for you. It is a sad thing. But we want to be your Source. We want to be the Ones that you run to. Whenever any person is suffering We want to be the Source that they run to. We want to be familiar with you. We want to be your solace. We want to lead you and to comfort you. We want to be your everything.

Why do we run from you when we suffer? Why don’t we run to You?

It’s part of the enemies plan to shut you down. The enemy tries to have you believe that no one can understand you and no one will want to help you. You withdraw because it takes feelings to talk to someone and when you’re hurting your feelings are tender and raw. You do the opposite of what you should do. You think you don’t want to burden anyone with your sad thoughts, yet it is those very thoughts that people that love you can help you with. You should know that nothing is too much of a burden for Us who love you. Jesus and I love every part of you. We love you in the good times and we love you in the sad times. Do you know that Satan has tried to shut you down this time because you are doing a good job with these conversations?

It makes sense. He tries to shut down every good thing that I do. It is such a struggle sometimes.

That is why we would love you to come to Us each day to be refreshed. Jesus came to Me every day when He was on earth. He suffered too, he had bad thoughts and hurt feelings. He suffered more than many people realised. His life was a struggle also. Satan was against him every day trying to make Him sin. You are not the first person to struggle Matthew. We have been with people right down the centuries since Christ and We will be with you every step of the way through your life. I have so much love and respect for you. You have no idea how much I really love you. I love you so much. If you could get a grasp of how much I love you, you would not worry so much. I have so much to teach you through these experiences. There is so much knowledge and wisdom to be gained as you go through your life. Each day, and each week We have new things that We are going to show you. We want you to know that We have you covered.

That is so comforting to hear. Sometimes when my depression comes on me I feel hopeless. I feel sometimes that I am not going to be able to cope. I need to know that You are going to see me through and that You have my back.

We are here for you and everybody. Some people might look at your life Matthew and be jealous of your relationship with Us and your ability to hear from Us, yet it would help them to know that you have you struggles and hard times also. You live in a world that is hard on many people. There is a lot of suffering in the world. People need to come to know Us and come to Us and let Us speak to them and help them find a way through life. Just like the Israelites collected manna each day in the wilderness to survive, people should make a practice of coming to Us each day for their daily bread. We don’t say that life on earth is simple. Jesus shared that in your life you are going to have tribulations. He wanted to bring you comfort in the fact that He overcame the world. You too can overcome the world and its devices. As you cling to Us and rest in Us you too can overcome. It is interesting that after you wrote about the subject of rest that you got attacked so badly. It seems that resting in Us is really the answer. I am the One that loves you all. I am Your Creator and Your God. Come rest in Me.

I am feeling better now that I have been talking to You. Your words are bringing me comfort. You know how to speak right to my heart. It makes a lot of sense because You know how I am feeling. You told Me that you can feel how I am feeling. I must learn how to come to You each time depression comes on me rather than running from everyone.

You will learn in time. You will grasp it. It takes practice and time spent together to grow in trust. A person cannot decide to get close to Me and be really close the next day after a prayer. Like any relationship it takes hours and hours of conversation to grow close and develop trust and vulnerability with each other. People should not expect to have an awesome relationship with Me overnight. A relationship with Me can’t be found by watching a DVD or Youtube video or reading a book. The best those things can do is point a person to Me. A person that has a great relationship with Me can write a book about how to draw near to Me, but the reader still needs to apply what is taught through many hours of their time and patience. I need to be part of their life, their daily lives to be of any lasting effect.

You are so wise God. I know I should not be surprised. You say such simple things but they have so much depth and wisdom to them. This book is really helping me to get to know you. I am happy that I sat down today to type this chapter.

You had an angel that helped you sit down and get in the mood. Even when you sat down you were not in the mood. yet as I spoke to you you started to feel change in yourself so that now you are feeling good. The same goes for other people. You won’t always be in the mood to come to Me. You won’t always want to take time aside and speak to Me or read your Bible. But when you do, as My Spirit comes upon you, you too will find joy and peace rise up within you as you fellowship with Me. I have a way with My creation. You see this happen many times in the psalms. David starts out crying to Me to help him and at the conclusion of the psalm he is thanking Me for coming to his rescue. I want to meet with My people. I want to be your Daily Manna. Be blessed Matthew.
