I want you to trust in Me, to know I am with you when you wake up and when you sleep.

I know you have many problems in life. Cast them upon Me and I will help you through them.  

Have joy, unbridled joy in My presence, and in My love which is better by far then anything you have ever felt. Take time to talk to Me through the day, letting Me assure you of My constant attendance.  

Someday I will fold you into My arms and hold you until you are satisfied, but for now, rest in the assurance that I am always with you.  

Don’t ever let go. I am here now.

I will be beside you all day. Think of Me and talk to Me often. I will guide you through whatever happens today.

Wait on Me, beloved. Trust in Me now.

1 Peter 1:7-9, New King James Version:

“That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.”

I know you are discouraged because I am leading you on a different path than you thought. 

Where are you in your trust in Me? I will comfort you each step of the way. I have a plan for you. Just put your faith in Me and we will walk a glorious path here together.

Each step you take I have planned for you. You just don’t know what it is, but I do, and I have promised over and over to take care of you. Just don’t let go. 

I AM WITH YOU.

You see things very different than Me. I am asking you for growth in our relationship, real growth.  

I am pleased with you in what you have given up for Me when I asked you to. I will not forget.  

You are truly My child. I will help you.  

Just call out My Name. There is much power in that.

Colossians 2:9-10, New King James Version:

“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”

Like a mother hen, I long to gather My little ones under My wings, but you were not interested. You are now, and I am so thankful.  

I love to spend time with you. As you go about your busy day, think of these moments with Me because I am there with you always, longing to be closer.  

Just like you want to be close to Me sometimes, I ALWAYS want to be close to you. 

Face the day with strength and when you have fears or worries, lean on Me. I AM HERE WITH YOU ALWAYS.  

I do not want to tell you the future which you think you want to know. It is far better for you not to. I need you to gently trust in Me. I will guide you. There would be no lessons learned, no utter dependence on Me, if I let you know the future. 

Just make sure to ask for My direction, then I can lead you.

The future is bright for you. I have something very special planned. Just don’t let go.  When you doubt, go in to that quiet place you have discovered and call My name. I will surround you in My peace, joy and love.

Psalms 33:3-4, New King James Version:

“Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.”

In the darkest moments of your life, I am beside you. When your soul cries out in pain, I am there, longing for you to call out to Me so I can come and fold you into My arms.

This connection we have is so precious to Me. It is the reason I made you. My joy is made complete when you reach out for Me. 

The world is teeming with evil, beloved, and I long to shield you from it, but I have chosen not to take you out of it yet. There is so much to learn. You may think you cannot go even one step further. It is too much.

It is not, dear one. With Me you can face anything. If you have total trust in Me for the abiding knowledge of My love, you will know, really know, that what ever happens will be okay if you stay close to Me.

Reach up now and take My hand. Together we can scale this mountain, walk through this valley.  

You are with the God of the universe.

Look up, dear one. Look up.

Psalms 42:1-2, New King James Version:

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?”

July 12

Where are your thoughts this morning? Are they focused on Me? You will draw so much strength from Me if they are.

I will take you to fly over the mountains and valley of life. Your connection with Me allows that. Like Peter, only when you fear and look down will you lose your way.

Keep focused on Me and trust Me. I will never let you down.  

I know you are scared inside. Please don’t be, My child. I express over and over to you every moment of the day how I will always take care of you.

Can you think of something that happened yesterday that made you smile? Something that you felt was a miracle, large or small? It was Me.

As you grow deeper in our relationship, you will become more and more aware of how I bless and guide you constantly.

I look forward to your growth towards Me! What joy you will experience!  

Hang on, dear one. We’re going up!

Psalms 20:5-6, New King James Version:

“We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.”

Oh, child of Mine, child of the King, you are blessed this morning. I love you with an everlasting love. Come and let Me fold you into My arms until you feel secure again.

Walk through the day with your head held high. Though problems teem around you, you have a link to Me that enables you to tackle each one with assurance.

No matter what happens, I am never far from you. Remember that often through the day.  Strengthen our link by closing your eyes and calling My name.  

Imagine Me right beside you, for I am, now and always.

I will be with you to walk through troubles, through pain, through fear and through joy. You are My creation, My created being, one who I made just for Me. Together we can do anything!

Psalms 27:1, 5, New King James Version:

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.”

Do not be afraid of the future. Do not be afraid of today or tomorrow, for I am with you, waiting for you to take My hand, giving Me free rein to guide you through your problems.

Remember yesterday. If you stayed close to Me, we had a victorious day. If you chose to go through the day alone, you experienced loneliness and fear.

No matter what happened yesterday, if you choose to walk with Me today, I will turn disasters into benefits, mistakes into second chances.

You can’t lose, dear one, if you choose Me. The world may live to it’s own dying heartbeat, but where you and I dwell is love and light and joy and hope, all made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus.

It’s not much of a choice, is it? But I have to let you make it.  

I am here.

Romans 8:27-28, New King James Version:

“Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

I am here, dear one, and I know your needs so well. I have been hurting along with you.  This is all so hard for you to understand, but it is all in My plan which will unfold soon.  Every step you have taken has been very important in your growth. It is carefully mapped out by Me.  

Just trust Me.

I know you don’t like it, but I am molding your character. You are growing in Me and we are growing so much closer than if you were happily going through life with no problems.  

Yes, I have a plan, and it is for us. I will take care of you. You will see.

Just trust Me.

What is in your future? It is better that I not tell you that, but what is important for you to know is that you and I will be growing closer together. Your life will be changed, and others will be affected by our teaming together.

Don’t be depressed, dear one. There is joy ahead in Me.

1 Peter 1:6-7, New King James Version:

 “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,”

Come to Me, My child, and let Me ease your fears. No matter how many times I have reassured you and shown you miracles of My love and care for you, you are still afraid to really let go, to really believe.

Fall back into My arms and let Me guide you as you float through time and space.  

I will never let go, dear one. I will always be there to guide and hold you.

Your troubles that seem so huge, are just momentary things. Keep your eyes on Me, the Author of your salvation, the one true love of your very being.  

I will never ever let you go. I love you too much.

Hebrews 10:22, New Kings James Version:

“let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Entwine your soul with Mine. Come and let Me take you places you have never dared to go before.

Rise up and take My hand, and together we will fly through space and time. I want you to truly see where Jesus walked, where He lived and died for you.

Envision His life and His death. Come to accept the love We have for you. It should permeate your everyday life, helping you to face your earthly challenges head on knowing you are the beloved child for whom so much was sacrificed.  

Close your eyes and imagine His anguished eyes looking at you with love and determination as the nails were driven into His feet and hands. This should let you know how much you are loved.

Live your life today as if every moment were the last. Stay connected to Me as your lifeline. 

We have already overcome the world. You have nothing to fear, and only joy to look forward to.

Galatians 2:20 The Passion Translation:

“My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that He gave himself for me, dispensing His life into mine!”
