In My Grasp!

Good morning, Papa God! 

Hard day! Hard place! Hard everything today! I am weary of life today! I have climbed so many mountains. I have walked through too many valleys to even count. I am tired! Forgive me when I question the storm clouds that have come my way. You have always been with me through it all, guiding me. I have placed my trust in You, and so, even despite this place on the path that I find myself, still I will trust You. Even now, when I do not know the way to go and can’t find the path in the darkness, still I will trust You. You will show me. You will lead me. You will restore this very weary soul of mine. My faith in You hangs on! It is safe and secure in You. I know that You are holding me, carrying me, and sustaining me – now and forever. I still trust You, my God! I do not know what to say or do as I move forward in my life, but You do. Papa God, calm this raging storm within me. Hold out Your hand and lift me up from the waves that threaten to roll over the top of me. Fill me with Your peace.

My child!

I am here! I know, in the midst of this struggle, you think that I am a million miles away. But I am not! I am in the midst of this storm with you. You have nothing to fear! I have you in My grasp! Nothing can separate us! I am holding you up! Never think otherwise or doubt! Your faith in Me is like standing on a solid rock; your foundation is firm. No matter what you may be going through or will go through, your faith and trust in Me is sure and eternal. Let Me ask you a question, My child. Have I ever failed you or given you a reason to not trust Me? I just heard your answer, My child (no!). So, what makes you think I will start now? I am not chastising you, My child. I am only helping you get up from your “doldrums” and realize that your faith is strong. I am right here with you just as I promised I would be. I know you are trusting Me in this struggle – to change all the pieces as I choose. I know you are learning to leave it alone and let Me resolve it. I know your heart, My child. I am working and I will work all these things together for your good just as I promised.
