That’s not a flaw in communication—it’s intentional. God knows something about us that we often forget: what reaches one heart may bounce right off another. Jeremiah 1:5, NIV says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”  God doesn’t just know that we exist. He knows how we think. How we feel. What disarms us? What we resist. And what we understand. He knows the language of your soul. Some people connect with God through reason. Others through emotion. Some through experience. Others have unanswered questions. God does not force every heart through the same doorway. He meets us where we are. If you’re analytical, God often shows up as patterns—connections that line up too cleanly to dismiss. Coincidences begin stacking on top of one another until logic itself points beyond chance. You start to realize this isn’t randomness. Its design. Nicodemus was that kind of man. He was a teacher of Israel. Educated. Disciplined. Thoughtful. And when God wanted to reach him, Jesus didn’t shame him or rush him. He invited him into a conversation—one that required thought, reflection, and spiritual reasoning. “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?’” (John 3:10, NKJV) Jesus spoke Nicodemus’ language. He reasoned with him. He stretched his understanding. He led him beyond intellect into encounter leading to transformation. If you’re emotional, God often reaches you through love and loss—through relationships that shape you, break you open, and reveal what truly matters. He speaks through compassion, through pain, and through moments when your heart finally becomes quiet enough to hear Him. If you’re driven and constantly busy, God often speaks through interruptions. Through closed doors. Through delays you didn’t plan for. Through moments when your schedule collapses, and you’re forced to sit still. In those pauses you didn’t choose, God gently redirects your heart back to what matters most. And if you’re a skeptic, God is not threatened by your questions. Thomas lived there. He didn’t need slogans. He needed truth he could stand on. And Jesus didn’t reject him for that. He met him right there—patiently, personally. “Then He said to Thomas, ‘Reach your finger here, and look at My hands… Do not be unbelieving, but believing.’” (John 20:27, NKJV) God does not silence honest questions. He often lives inside them until truth finally breaks through. But it is important to understand this clearly: God does not speak to us through our imagination alone. He says, “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord… (Isaiah 1:18, NKJV) . God speaks to us through His Word. God and His Word are not separate—they are one. God does not change His truth—but He does change His approach. The message is the same. The method is personal. Any sense, prompting, or impression we believe comes from God must always be tested and anchored in Scripture. Jesus and His Word are one. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1, NKJV) Until we consistently expose ourselves to His Word, we risk loving God only in our imagination. The rock-solid truth aligns His language with ours and gives anchor to what is true, and keeps our faith anchored in truth rather than shaped by vivid imaginations.” God is not distant. He is not vague. And He is not broadcasting on one frequency while blaming people for not tuning in. He is speaking the language you already understand. And if you ever stop long enough—quiet your striving, lower your defenses, and still your explanations—you may realize something both holy and humbling: He’s been talking to you the entire time. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27, NKJV) Prayer: Lord, thank You for knowing me so completely. Thank You for meeting me where I am, not where I pretend to be. Help me slow down enough to recognize Your voice and humble enough to respond when I hear it. I don’t want to miss You in the ways You are already speaking to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen!  ‍ In His love, Pastor Tim Burt Forward this email to a friend Support This Work © 2025 Tim Burt Ministries.

A Place to Put Your Anxieties Fresh Manna by Pastor Tim Burt

Fresh Manna with Pastor Tim Burt    A Note from Pastor Tim If you are ever not seeing Fresh Manna in your email box, there is a good  chance that it might be in your spam box.  If it is, please go in your email and add the contact:  Tim@TimBurt.org in your contacts. That should help eliminate that from happening! Thanks for reading and God bless you!  Explore more on my website → A Place to Put Your Anxieties February 2, 2026 by Timothy Burt One of the quiet blessings of walking with the Lord is having a place to put the weight of life. I once knew a young man, a believer from his youth. He loved the Lord, trusted Him, and talked to Him freely. When anxiety crept in, when life felt uncertain, when fears whispered at night, he knew what to do—he prayed. He released those burdens upward. He cast his cares on God and found rest for his soul. But somewhere along the way, life happened. Disappointments came. Questions grew louder. He stopped going to church. He stopped reading his Bible. Faith slowly faded into the distance. He didn’t become bitter or angry—he simply walked away. Years passed. Now he is 57 years old—still a good man, still thoughtful, still searching—but deeply anxious. And one thing stands out painfully clear: he no longer has anywhere to put his cares. The burdens that once were lifted to God in prayer now sit squarely on his own shoulders. The fears he once released now swirl endlessly in his own mind. He has no place to lay them down, no altar to leave them at, no Father to entrust them to. That reality is sobering. The Bible speaks directly to this blessing we often take for granted: 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” That verse is not poetic language—it is an invitation. God does not ask us to manage anxiety alone. He does not say, “Figure it out,” or “Toughen up,” or “Carry it better.” He says, "Give it to me." The word cast means to throw something decisively—to release it with intention. God is telling us that anxiety does not belong on our shoulders; it belongs in His hands. Why? Because He cares for you. Not distantly. Not generically. But personally, attentively, and lovingly. Jesus echoed this same invitation: Matthew 11:28–29 (NLT) “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest… and you will find rest for your souls.’” Notice what Jesus does not promise. He does not promise the absence of burdens. He promises rest in the middle of them. The Christian life is not a burden-free life—it is a life where burdens are shared with a faithful God. That is why prayer is not a ritual; it is a release. When we pray, we are not informing God of our problems—we are transferring ownership of them. Anxiety grows strongest where prayer is absent, because anxiety thrives on isolation. Paul understood this: Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything… present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” God’s peace does not come from solved problems—it comes from surrendered ones. That is the quiet tragedy of walking away from faith—not that life suddenly becomes harder, but that burdens once shared with God must now be carried alone. Fear has no listener. Worry has no release. The soul becomes its own battleground, regurgitating thoughts of negative outcome, confusion, and fear with no conclusion of peace. But prayer changes everything. God never intended us to be self-contained vessels strong enough to carry every weight. He designed us to live dependent lives—leaning not on our own understanding, but on His faithfulness. Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” Leaning on our own understanding is exhausting. Trusting the Lord is freeing. Psalm 55:22 (NIV) “Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.” What a promise—to be sustained, not scolded. Upheld, not dismissed. If you are carrying anxiety today, remember this: you have somewhere to put it. You have a loving Father who invites you to come.  To lay them at His feet. To pray in faith trusting Him. You were never meant to carry the cares of this life alone. And if you know someone who has wandered from faith, let that stir compassion, not judgment. They have not only lost belief—they have lost a place to release their cares. God is still waiting. Still caring. Still ready. 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You that we have a place to bring our fears, worries, and anxieties. Teach us to trust You more deeply and to release what we were never meant to carry. Draw those who feel alone back to the truth that You still care and still receive them.

Can you feel the energy of the Earth…Quickening…I feel it groaning & stretching in the earth of my body…Like a snake trying to shed its skin - like a molting bird…Dancing in the silent belly of February…So much to do…So much to Be… Can you feel the growing rhythms - as the Full Wolf Moon rouses us? It’s time to start planning what we will plant - not only in our fields - but in our soul garden, for the roots are stirring under the snow. It’s time to purify & get fertile. So let’s charm the plow – Kiss the candle, & gather the wood to kindle a need-fire, as a welcoming beacon, to call back our dormant power - to heat up, our potential, & re-seed our creativity – as we add fuel to the fire of our community. One spark warms us all – A purifying fire, that burns clean & opens the way to the true power of love & light from deep within us. The Cross-Quarter betwixt the Winter Solstice & the Vernal Equinox is not only intuited & out-pictured in Nature, it is determined by a Cosmic Conversation - that speaks to us of the Sun at 15 degrees of Capricorn - & that hits on February 5th - But most folks celebrate on the fixed date of February 2nd - which the muggles call Groundhogs Day - when the fate of Winter rests on the shoulders of a furry rodent. Today & everyday, dear friends, we can be like the groundhog & look for our shadow. In the age of the ancient Mystery Schools this was a time of Initiation - a time of Purification & Re-Dedication. For the Celtic tribes, who were very much in touch with the cycles of the Seasons, this is called Imbolc – which means – in the belly – it’s the lambing season - & the milk begins to flow - It is known as ‘Celtic Spring’ – the time of year when the belly of the Great Mother Quickens with the leaping Light. This time is dedicated to the Triple Goddess Brigid, holding the power of the Maiden, Mother, Crone - Embodying the Mysteries of the Sacred Well - Connected to Purification - & the Fires of the Forge - to call in the Will of the Sun. In antiquity - as early as the time of the cave people - it was known as the Feast of the Bear - the end of hibernation. Later, of course, it was adopted by the Church - as the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary - since this Cross-Quarter comes 40 days after the Christmas-Epiphany Season - the end of the ‘Temptation in the Desert’. Interesting how many traditions mix & overlap. The ‘Feast of Candles’, or ‘Candlemas’ was instituted by the Church in the 5th Century. Candlemas used to be called “Chandelours” which means bear in in many areas of France, (including the Alps, Pyrenees, Ardennes) where the memory of the ‘Cult of the Bear’ is still very present. Candlemas also comes near the beginning of the Carnival time - where the bear is the Carnival animal par excellence. (O & Remember that movie with Darrel Hanna, The Clan of the Cave Bear…?) In ancient Greece this Threshold time was connected to The Festival of Persephone & Demeter, celebrated exclusively by the woman, in an elaborate 3 day ritual, called Thesmophoria. Spiraling down the line, the ancient Romans called it Lupercalia - a Festival very much like Mardi Gras - which I will talk about when we come to Valentine’s Day. In the Jewish Kabbalistic Tradition, Today starts the Feast of Tu’B’Shvat - known as ‘The New Year for the Tree’ - When the sap begins to rise – This Holiday provides an opportunity to repair the breach in the Garden of Eden when the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil was eaten before it was ripe. There is also the Feast of Aosta Saint-Ours - to call back the birds - & Saint Blaise, the physician who blesses the throat chakra with 2 crossed candles. Together, with the power of these many mythoi in mind, we can thaw the ICE in the world - & rouse the Mysteries Quickening within… ~hag Share 2026 is off to a great start at Zinniker Farm - All 17 of the cows & heifers are pregnant - Different breeds of meat chickens, & pigs are on the horizon – The Pfeiffer Wheat is selling like hotcakes - And Aidan Benkowski is officially joining Mark & Petra as a full-time farmer!
