"Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you; surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

This is the message God gave me this morning and boy did I need it. Have you ever needed to hear from God so desperately? I cried out to Him today and He heard my cries Psalm 6:8 and soothed me with these powerful words. I claim it as my victory and I want you to do the same. Life can be so uncertain and so scary and I don't know what people would do without the Lord. My husband and I shutter at the thought and even drop to our needs in gratitude when we think of our own lives not that long back...where we did not rely on Him as we should have and we did not have Him front and center in our marriage and in our own lives. But He called us to Him and we heard the call. The Lord spoke and we listened and obeyed. I pray you do the same today if you are struggling with something. If you are trying to do it alone without the help of God, lay it down today at His feet. I know patience is one of the most difficult things therefore ask the Lord to help you in that area so that you can know with all assurance that the steps being taken are ordained by God and not by your flesh. Our flesh desires instant gratification and it can be fed pretty much any time with the internet access and 24 hour a day access to restaurants and stores. But God's timing is perfect and it is in the waiting where we grow and mature in Spirit and in Faith therefore forget the mindset of now. I am not going to worry or be anxious. I will keep focusing on Him and know His will is all I desire. I will cast all my cares on Him and wait upon Him. 1 Peter 5:7 It is all any of us can do. Be blessed and stand with me in blessed assurance and faith.

Matthew 6: 25-34
