Good morning, Papa God!
As I sit here in anticipation of the wind and rain from the approaching hurricane, You reminded me that You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in times like this … not just for the storms of nature, but also the storms of life. Lots of storms have come and gone in my life, but You have faithfully been with me through them all. You promised me You would always be with me, and You have. So right now in my life, right where I am, I will not waiver at Your promise through unbelief. But I am strengthened in my faith because I am fully convinced that what You promise, You are able to perform and will do it. My perspective of events and circumstances in my life is so very small. I do not see what You see, and I certainly cannot see how You are going to work it all together for good. But this one thing I do know – You will! Because You promised You would! So, even on those days when I “feel” like I am going under for the 10-count, I know I am not! You’ve got me by the hand, and You won’t let me go! I will trust You and not be afraid because You alone make me dwell in safety. I believe Your hand of protection is over my life, even when things are not going as I had hoped or planned. My faith in You has deepened every time I realize that You are always with me in every storm.
My faithful, dependent one,
Your emotional fragility, at many times in your life, has led to your dependence on Me to get through each day. I have developed within you the ability to trust Me more and more. I know that your natural tendency is to plan and organize your day’s tasks, so that you know what will happen and when. We both know how often those plans go awry. I have been training you to release control of that urge to plan everything, and to trust and depend on Me to guide your day’s activities. Yes, I have given you a brilliant mind, but I want you to use it under My guidance, not your own. Commit to Me all that you do, and I will order your steps and work in the plans submitted to My will. I am your strong tower. When you run to Me, you are safe. I am your refuge in all your storms of life. There is never a place or event in your life that is so desolate, barren, forsaken, or lonely that I am not there. I always see and know where you are, and I always hear your cries for help and comfort. I will always minister to you, and supply all you need in every moment of your life’s journey. You are never alone. I promise! Arise, and continue your journey with courage. I am right here beside you…all the way!
