                Trust Me for I am with You

Child, do not look at the circumstances and judge truth by what 
you see with your physical eyes and ears. When you do that, you
are judging things based on what is temporary and not eternal. 
When you interpret circumstances with your natural eyes, you will 
not be able to understand the eternal purpose of the situations 
you are going through. This will also make if more difficult
for you to trust Me. 

All spiritual things need to be judged by spiritual eyes. Ask 
of Me to enlighten the eyes of your heart so that you can then 
know the hope to which you have been called and the riches of
your inheritance in Me. You will then be able to keep Your focus
on Me instead of on the circumstances regardless of the extend 
of difficulty.

I am surrounding you with My presence and glory. Stand and hold the
ground I have given you. Do not give in to the flesh but know that 
in due time I will ask you to advance. I assure you that even in 
this situation I have a plan for you. My plans for you are always 
for good and not for evil. Your feelings tell you that I have stepped
away from you. They tell you that I have removed My presence. But 
I want to assure you that I have never moved away nor is it in My 
mind to do so.

Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. As 
your commander-in-chief I command you not to fear evil for I am beside
you. Trust Me and yield to Me in everything. Walk the course I have 
outlined for you with confidence knowing that I am in control. Keep
in mind that I don't waste things. Even in this situation there 
is eternal meaning. I desire to work some things in you through these 
circumstances. I can't accomplish these things without your having 
to go through this fire. Will you allow Me to walk you through this
so I can then accomplish My full purpose for you?

Trust Me and do not lean on your own understanding but know that 
everything is in My hands. You yourself have committed everything 
to Me. Know that I guard those things that are precious to Me. 
You yourself have invited Me to come and fill every situation in your
life, and indeed I am doing that. So be encouraged for My eyes are on 
you and those you love. 

My plans are for your well-being and not for your demise. I desire 
for you to carry My power. In order for you to carry My anointing
and My glory to the extend that I desire, you need to allow Me to 
perfect your faith and to shape you accordingly. 

I am your good shepherd. I am your strong tower. I care for My sheep
and watch over them. Come and run to Me for in Me you will find 
comfort and strength. Rest in Me for I desire to make  you lie down
in green pastures and lead you beside quiet waters. I still your 
soul and bring you to a place of rest in Me. 

You can trust Me child. I desire to take you by your hand and lead 
you in the way you should go. From the beginning of time I have 
thought of you. From the beginning of time I have made plans for you. 
I am surrounding you with My presence. You need not fear. I am covering 
you with My wings, you need not be afraid. Trust Me and know that I
have not forgotten you but that I am a trustworthy God who is committed
to His people.
