My children,
I know your sufferings. I know your struggles. I know many of you feel weary, worn down, tired, exhausted, frustrated, lost, depressed, sad, lonely and alone, helpless and hopeless. I hear your cries. I see your tears. Do not be afraid and be of good cheer.
Find it in your hearts to be strong and to have courage. Find it in your hearts to push through and persevere. Find it in your hearts to praise and thank God through it all, for in this you will rise above your circumstances and you will find victory. I know it is hard to praise Me and thank Me when it feels like all is falling apart around you, but I tell you all is falling into place, and if you can find it in your hearts to praise Me and to thank Me it will change you from victims into victors. In praising Me through your troubles you will build your trust and your faith in Me, and I will lift you up.
Have confidence in Me, My children. Even when you can’t hear My voice, and even when you can’t feel or sense My presence, I am with you. I will never leave you or forsake you. I will never allow you to endure any temptation that you cannot bear. Stay close to Me in prayer, in your thoughts, and in reading My word, and remember that I am fully in control. Give me your worries and I will give you rest.
Trust in Me always, and lean not on your own understanding. In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. You are all being molded, and you are all being refined. Please know you are not alone in your struggles. The enemy is very busy; give him no opportunities to exploit you or devour you.
I love all of you, My children, more than you will ever know in this life. Remember what is in store for you. Remember what I have promised you. I am faithful and I keep my word.
Nothing you suffer here compares with what is in store for you when I bring you home to Me. I am your peace. I am your joy. I am your strength. I am your hope. I am your Savior. I am your future, so take solace in Me!
