Lifter of my Head!

Good morning, Papa God! 

You are so very patient with me as I learn to grow and let go of my need to know the plan. I know You know all the details, and I am learning that it is okay when I don’t. I am going to try again today to leave the details to You, and walk in faith and trust. You have given me this new day, so I am going to make the most of it with whatever I can find to do. I love You, Papa God, and my deepest desire is to always please You. I know that I please You even when some of my thoughts, or words, or actions do not. Your love for me never fails or gives up on me. Your forgiveness is always there for me when I confess my wrongs, and it is always complete. I am so grateful You never remember my sins once they have been forgiven. You are my loving Father, rich in mercy and grace and love. How blessed am I! You are the lifter of my head, my countenance, and my spirit! You raise me up to more that I could ever have believed possible. You have been my strength to walk up mountains, and to walk on the stormy seas and the rocky ledges. You have been my peace and comfort wherever life has taken me, providing all I have needed. Papa God, my prayer to You today is that I will have sufficient courage and bravery to hold on for as long as I need to while I wait upon You. I am asking You to help me walk through this time of waiting. I know You hear me and You will help me.

My child,

You have come so very far in your ability to depend on Me. Oh, and by the way, these difficult times in your life are what causes you to be more aware of My Presence, and teaches you to trust Me. Each day with its dreaded “sameness” is just an opportunity for you to flex your spiritual trust muscles. You are getting very strong! I am proud of you. And, it’s okay to have days like yesterday when you fall apart, and frustration bubbles over the top. I see and hear you. I am here, and I am holding you. The fact that you have learned to come to Me with it first is such a great leap forward. You now come to Me when you are in valley of loneliness and you sit in My lap while I hold you. There are very few distractions in your life now. As you practice My Presence more and more, and become more and more aware, you are learning this for when your life will have more people in it and more distractions. You are in training just now so you will still practice being in My Presence when life gets busier. The more you know My Presence and spend time with Me, the more I flow from within you to others.
