I LOVE YOU REGARDLESS OF how well you are performing. Bring your performance anxiety to Me, and receive in its place My unfailing Love.
Dear Jesus, We know that performance anxiety is foolish and counterproductive. Our minds have unmasked this robber of Peace many times, but the rascal continues to claw at our hearts when we let down our guard. We find ourselves struggling with feeling of failure, sometimes without even knowing why. Help us break free from this bondage through the empowerment of Your Love. Amen.
Beloved, come to Me with your feelings of failure. Bring them into the Light of My Presence, where we can examine them together. In My brilliant Light, the feelings shrivel and shrink, because they are based on lies. These things thrive in the darkness, where you are hardly aware of them at all. Performance anxiety has been such a regular part of your life that you barely notice it. Yet I defeated that villain in the same way I triumphed over Satan - through My finished work on the cross!
When feelings of failure weigh you down, look up to Me! Let the Light of My unfailing Love shine upon you, dispelling the darkness, lifting you closer and closer to Me. The nearer you are to Me, the better you can see My smile of approval. As you bask in this unconditional Love, you gain strength to break free from your nemesis - performance anxiety. Even if you slip into old habits again, you can turn back to Me anytime. My unfailing Love is always available to restore you, because you belong to Me forever.
- Jesus
