                           Trust Me

Perilous times will cover the earth. But I say unto My people, do not
fear, for you are anchored securely in Me. I will hold you steady and
keep you from harms way. I will provide for you, and make a way for you.

People won't understand how you make ends meet. They won't understand
why you don't hang your head in fear and trembling. They won't understand
why your eyes sparkle with light in a dark world. Many will turn to you
with questions and I will give you wisdom and the word to bring comfort
to them.

My people, I have filled you with treasure. My presence is the excellence
of the power in you! I have equipped you.

Many are now facing trials. They are burdened and cast down. Even so,
many are the afflictions of My people. But I say unto you: fear not and
trust Me. Keep your eyes on Me--only Me. Pull out of the treasure within
you, for in it you will find all you need. I am with you, take of Me,
learn of Me, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. I am your
Sufficient One, I am the only One Who can sustain you and give you peace.

I know when you are troubled, I understand your pain and confusion. But
as you trust in Me you will not remain in a state of confusion and fear.
Those who trust in Me will walk victorious, they will be given stamina,
and will endure, and keep moving forward into kingdom purposes. Trust
Me and know nothing will crush you, nothing will take from you, I will
bless you in all your ways.
