DEAR GOD: Keep Me Grounded in Your Word~

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love.” — Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)

Grounded in His Love
by C D Swanson~

To be grounded in His love means to stand on something that cannot be shaken. Life shifts, people change, bodies age, and circumstances rise and fall — but the love of the LORD remains steady beneath your feet. His love is not a mood, not a reaction, not a reward for good behavior. It is everlasting, meaning it existed before you were born and will remain long after every fear has passed.

When God says He loves you with an everlasting love, He is declaring that His affection is not fragile. It does not weaken when you feel anxious. It does not fade when you feel small. It does not disappear when you face medical decisions or moments of uncertainty. His love surrounds you, holds you, steadies you, and keeps you from falling into the places your mind sometimes wanders.

To be grounded in His love is to remember that you are not walking into anything alone. Not an appointment, not an injection, not a moment of fear. His love goes before you, stands beside you, and follows behind you. It is the quiet strength under your feet and the gentle hand over your heart.

 

🌿  Where in my life today do I need to pause and remember that God’s love is the ground beneath me?

🌿  “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” — Deuteronomy 33:27 (KJV)

 

🌿 “LORD, steady my heart in Your everlasting love. Let Your Presence be the ground beneath my feet and the peace within my spirit. When I feel uncertain, remind me that Your arms hold me, Your love surrounds me, and Your strength carries me. Keep me rooted, calm, and confident in You. In Jesus holy name, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: We Are Held In Your Hands Forever – Thank You!~

Isaiah 49:16 (KJV)

“Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”


 

This verse is a tender declaration from the heart of God to His beloved. It’s not just poetic—it’s personal. “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands” speaks of permanence, of love etched so deeply it cannot be erased.

In ancient times, engraving was a lasting mark, indelible, incapable of being erased- often used to signify covenant or devotion. Here, God tells us that we are not just remembered—we are inscribed into His very Being.

We are etched into Him and His love for us is infallible.

Today, in a world where people feel forgotten, overlooked, or discarded, this verse is a balm. It tells the weary soul: You are not lost. You are not invisible. You are held. Even when life feels like rubble and the walls of our peace seem broken, God sees it all—“thy walls are continually before me.” He watches over what we care about, what we mourn, what we hope to rebuild.

And into Eternity, this verse takes on even deeper meaning. When we stand before Jesus in paradise, we will see the scars on His wrists and hands—marks of love, sacrifice, and victory. And we’ll know: those hands bore our names. We were never forgotten. We were always His!

And shall be forever!

 “ Thank You for engraving us upon Your hands—a love so deep it bled for us. When we feel unseen, remind us that You gaze upon us with eternal tenderness. Let this truth anchor our hearts in every storm and every silence. May we live today with the confidence that we are held, watched over, and cherished. And when we meet You face to face, may we fall into those nail-scarred wrists and hands with joy, knowing we were always Yours.  In Your precious name, Amen.”

 

 Here’s a beautiful scripture to embrace and reflect upon as we go to sleep…

Psalm 4:8 (KJV) –“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.”
