Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Fear Page 2 of 3

You have nothing to fear as a daughter of God.

Because I am with you

Oh, daughter, where is your faith?

Believe that I am working for you right now.

There is nothing to separate us

Except what you build up.

Don’t you see how you’ve grown since you first believed?

It is belief that’s gotten you there.

And it is faith that will bring you where I have for you.

Yes, where I have for you.

It is a new place, a new task, a new assignment.

A new way for you.

It is what your heart longs for.

It is the freedom you want.

It is the assignment you are designed for.

Don’t be afraid of it.

You will do it because I will help you,

Because I am with you.

How did Moses do it?

How did Jonah and Joseph and Daniel and Jeremiah?

They did it with me.

And you will do it with me,

But only with me.

See Genesis 39:2-5 and 19-23, 41:37-40 and 51-52, 50:14-21; Exodus 3:10-12 and 33:12-17;   Psalm 131; Isaiah 43:1-4, 10-13, and 16-21; Jeremiah 1:4-12 and 17-19; Daniel 6:16-23; Jonah 2; Matthew 14:24-31; Luke 8:22-25; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 John 5:3-5

Going is resting

Let’s go, daughter.

There is so much for us to do together.

Don’t hold back.

Come with me.

Let me guide you through the steps.

You won’t fall.

Be brave when I tell you to come.

Walk to me, and you’ll know the steps to take.

Walk to me, and you’ll know that going

is resting.

Stop and rest now, child.

Focus on me.

Just me.

I renew you.

You can do today.

And you can do tomorrow.

You can do each step I have for you.

You can move forward with me.

I’ll hold you the whole time.

I’ll love you the whole time.

See Matthew 14:22-33

No limit

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, I know there is so much you want to do.

I know how your heart longs for more.

I know you.

I know your pain and your doubts and everything you’re questioning.

Be still.

Daughter, don’t be ashamed to cry.

Don’t pretend to be strong.

You can admit your weakness.

Come to me with your weakness.

Come to me when you can’t take any more,

No matter how soon you think it is.

I know your threshold.

I know your limits.

I have no limit.

I have no limit of how much I can help you.

Daughter, I can help you in everything.

There isn’t a single thing you have to do alone.

I am with you always.

Always.

It doesn’t matter where you are, what you’ve accomplished,

Or what you haven’t.

I’m still here.

Even now

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, come to me now.

Your mind is racing, and you are afraid.

You are afraid of failing.

You are afraid of unhappiness.

You are afraid that you have been wrong.

Oh, my daughter, where is your faith?

Don’t push it aside for what the world has to offer.

Don’t push it aside when you think you can’t take any more.

Don’t push it aside to do things your way.

Remember that I am holding you.

Yes, even now, after you believe you’ve done everything wrong.

Yes, you make choices, and they’re not always right.

But let me redeem you and set it right.

Don’t worry that you can’t get back to me.

Daughter, you never left me.

You’ve known I’m here, yet you doubted.

Don’t doubt.

Don’t leave.

I will never leave.

Don’t give up on my plan.

Trust me.

Trust my way and my word.

See Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 34:1-7 and 18; Psalm 37:3-5, 7, 23-24, 34, 39-40; Psalm 138:8; Psalm 145:13-20; Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 40:26-31 and 46:3-4; Matthew 6:25-34 and 16:21-26; John 20:24-29; Romans 8:1-2; Hebrews 10:19-23 and 32-39; Hebrews 11; 1 John 1:7-9

Always, faithfully

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, don’t be afraid.

Don’t be afraid to speak and write.

Don’t be afraid to accept the glorious love I have for you.

Don’t ever hesitate to run to me.

No matter what you’ve done or even if you’ve done nothing wrong.

I enjoy holding you.

I enjoy you.

You are never too much.

I never tire of comforting you.

Don’t worry about time.

Don’t worry that you’ll miss me or something important.

This is important.

Chaos is around you, always. But I am not chaos.

I am grounded.

I am peace.

I am constant.

I am here.

I am always, faithfully here.

See Exodus 3:10-15, 14:13-14, 33:12-17; Deuteronomy 7:9, 31:8, and 32:1-4; Psalm 18:2-3, 19, and 30-33; Psalm 23; Psalm 27; Psalm 37:7; Isaiah 26:3-4; Jeremiah 1:4-10; Lamentations 3:22-26; Matthew 7:7-11 and 28:20; John 14:27; Acts 18:4-11; Romans 2:4; Hebrews 4:14-16 and 11:1-34; James 1:17-18 and 4:7-10; 2 Peter 3:8-9

Let me speak

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, let me speak to you now.

You don’t have to be perfect to hear my voice.

Don’t believe that you must complete so many tasks before you can hear me.

You can hear me now and here and everywhere.

I love you so much.

I want to be with you all the time, and so I am.

You can be with me all the time, too.

You don’t even have to search for me. I am always so close.

Through the joyous times and the hard times and everything in between.

Let me speak.

Let me come to you.

Listen and feel.

Don’t be afraid of my presence. I don’t come to disrupt or bring bad news.

I have good news. Always.

You are saved and loved and chosen.

Isn’t that good news?

And daughter, I know you need reminded. Come to me for that reminder.

Don’t try to find it anywhere else.

You won’t.

Your reassurance comes from me alone. My word and my presence are your reassurance.

With me, you can slow down and rest in that.

You can believe that I will heal every wound, wipe every tear, give you everything you need.

Yes, I’m providing exactly what you need to move forward.

Remember that it might look different.

Don’t be afraid to fail.

Don’t be afraid you’ll miss it.

Don’t be afraid you haven’t done enough or that your sins are too great.

Isn’t this what I died for?

Isn’t this why I rose again?

I did it for you, daughter.

I did it so you could feel my love for you.

See Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 34:4-10 and 139:7-12; Isaiah 55:1 and 8-9; Zephaniah 3:17; Matthew 11:28-30 and 28:20; Mark 2:13-17; John 1:16-18 and 3:16-17, 6:28-29, 6:37, and 15:13-16; Romans 5:8; Galatians 3:21-24 and 5:1-4; Ephesians 1:3-14 and 2:8-10; Hebrews 3:5-8; James 4:7-8; Revelation 21:1-4 and 22:17

I am willing

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, great things will happen, and you can believe me because I am that I am.

Remember that none is greater, that my glory is greater.

I will help you and teach you and give you all you need.

Do not be afraid, and do not doubt it. I will be with you always.

I am willing.

Yes, you heard correctly. You can believe that, believe me. I am always true. I never lie, never deceive you, never let the enemy take you.

I empower you and give you strength to fight.

Keep resting, child, so you can fight. Rest your mind and heart today to be ready. It will not be easy, but it will be joyful. It will not be possible without the Holy Spirit.

Keep trusting me to show you, and I will. I never fail, never stop speaking to you. I never stop holding you and guiding you and healing you. Do not let fear get in your way.

My will cannot be thwarted. Your will can, and you have to remember that I want what is good for you. I protect you and love you, and you have no need to worry, child.

Let me hold you today and every day in all you do. Let me guide you and help you share my light. Do not be consumed by entertainment, but instead be consumed by love and peace.

Don’t be afraid of being tired. I give you rest for that. Go rest, so you can feel better. I’m healing you, and you don’t need to strive. Go rest, daughter.

We have a lot to do together. I’m excited to do it. Are you?

Take your hand, put it in mine, and come forward with me. I’ll lead you forward, not to death or disaster, but to life and opportunity.

No, daughter, don’t fear. You have nothing to fear. You are armed and protected.

Perfect love expels all fear – remember?

I am perfect love. I have perfect love for you.

Go rest, child. And know that I love you.

See Exodus 3:13-15, 15:1-6, and 15:13; Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 26:3-4; Jeremiah 29:10-14; Matthew 11:28-30; Luke 5:12-13 and 22:31-32; John 14:27 and 15:5; Romans 8:31-34; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; James 1:2-4; 1 John 4:16-18

Breathe and trust

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter.

Take a deep breath and trust me.

It’s going to be all right.

Believe in me. Believe that I hold you right now.

All your aches and pains will fade. All your worries can leave.

See, at this moment, I’m clearing them away. Clearing them away from your beautiful mind.

You need it to be clear so you can do the things I have for you. Keep it clear and clean and wonderful.

I make it wonderful.

I make you wonderful.

I think you’re wonderful, daughter.

My love for you has no bounds, no end. I’m right here with your spirit. My Spirit gives you life.

Yes, let those tears roll because I am here. Remember how they strengthen you?

Let go.

Let everything flow out with those tears and evaporate away.

You have nothing to fear, child.

Fear cannot dictate who you are, what you do.

See Exodus 33:12-17; Psalm 33:20-22, 34:10, 37:23, and 89:2; Isaiah 61:3; Matthew 6:25-34; Mark 11:22-25; John 3:16; Romans 8:15-18 and 8:28; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:18

Ask me for a word

Listen to a reading of the text below

Daughter, I know you’ve asked for a word, and here it is.

Do not worry about the future. Nothing is uncertain with me. It only seems uncertain, but truly it is not. I know what will happen, and I know what has happened.

Relax, child. Why were you so afraid to ask me for a word?

I am your Father. I love you, and I love speaking with you.

You can do this with me anytime, no matter what you’ve done. I always like to talk with you, and I always have things to say to you.

When you love someone, you enjoy being with them and talking with them. Do not be afraid of me. Come to me boldly. Come to me often.

You don’t have to do a special ritual or be perfect to come to me. Remember? I came for people who need a doctor, not those who are healthy.

I come to you when you long for my voice. I love when you long for my voice and when you recognize it. This is deeper love than you’ve known. Don’t think of the love stories you know. Think of the love that comes from me, daughter.

This love is greater than all. It is the love that truly matters and where your idea of love begins.

I am the beginning. I am love. I am that I am. I am your Father, and I love you.

I am your Father and your love.

I am your savior and the one who died for you.

I am the one who cures all, who loves all, who guides all, who makes all.

And I made you. I’m so glad I did, daughter. I’m so glad I made you and placed you and love you. I’m so glad I made your mind and heart and body the way it is. I made you to represent me.

Don’t be afraid to represent me. Stand tall and represent me. Stand in front of a crowd and represent me.

Don’t be afraid. I will guide you. It will work out. I will use you as my vessel.

Just keep serving. Keep going. Keep representing. Keep seeking. Keep praying. Keep remembering.

Remember what I did for you because I love you. Remember the great joy ahead. Remember not to be afraid or accept fear of any kind. Fear is a lie.

Fear has no place in my plan, in my love, in my grace. Grace makes you free. Fear does not. Fear binds and weakens and stops everything. Fear will not bring you forward. Fear will keep you back.

Don’t worry about money. Keep giving. Don’t worry about work, but keep working. Don’t worry about where you’ll be in the future. I’ll take you where you need to be, and you’ll know it’s me. You’ll have peace, and you’ll know it’s where you’re supposed to be.

One day at a time, child. One day with me, then the next. Then the next. Then the next.

Let’s do every day together, daughter. Those make my days great – how about yours?

Don’t be afraid. I’m here. And I love you.

Keep remembering. Keep asking the Holy Spirit for help. He’s there. He’s your advocate. Welcome him and listen.

Remember I love you, and we’ll do this again, child. This isn’t the last.

There’s so much more to come. I see you smiling. I see you. I love that smile. Be joyful, daughter. I hold time, and I love you.

Go now. We’ll talk again soon.

See Exodus 3:13-14 and 33:8-11; 1 Samuel 12:22 and 24; Psalm 139:7-10 and 145:18; Luke 5:30-32; John 8:42-44 and 14:16-17; Romans 5:6-11; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 3:18-19; Hebrews 4:16 and 13:5; James 4:8

In the battle, trust

Listen to a reading of the text below

Oh, daughter, I know this is hard.

I know you’re not quite sure where to go next, and you don’t want to be false.

Let me guide you. I am never false.

I chose you for this.

I am patient and kind. I love you, and I fill you. I keep the enemy away. He has no dominion. I have all dominion, all authority, in heaven and on Earth and in the realms you do not see.

One day, it will all make sense. But you have to trust me.

Know that I am fighting for you because I love you. I love you too much to let the enemy have you. I love you too much to let your mind be used by him, by the world. Your mind is beautiful, as you are beautiful, because I have made you and filled you.

You are my daughter, and I love you. I am love. I am your love. I am your rescue.

Think of me when you want to let your mind wander. Think of when I first rescued you. Do you remember?

We all celebrated that day, when you came to me, when you saw. You saw real love and what it was. It wasn’t from a man. It was from me. It was me who saved you. It was me who chose you and saw you and said, “Her. I want her.”

You have so much to offer, daughter. You have so much to offer other sisters and brothers and your own family.

With my light in you, you have so much to shine out. With my mercy in you, you have so much mercy to give. With my love in you, you have so much love to give.

Do you see, daughter?

I give you abundance. Give. It’s not something you’ve earned. You’ve only become attuned to it.

Now that you know it, what will you do with it?

This is where great joy is coming. I will open doors. You can trust that I am working.

You don’t want to get your hopes up in case you are wrong. I am never wrong, and you have to believe that.

Trust me, daughter. Trust that I still hold you like the first time I rescued you. Trust that we still rejoice because you belong to us. Trust that I will move you forward, that everything will be fine for you. Just like Moses.

You like to read the old stories, I know. It’s just one thing I love about you. I love your eyes, your smile, your heart, your desires, your wisdom, your strength that comes from me. It all comes from me because you are mine.

Let’s rest in that.

You will never be disappointed with me. You will never be unfulfilled, unrequited, unloved. Just listen. Just rest. I love you. I’m right here.

Don’t worry. Just stay with me, focused on me.

No striving. Just let go.

Rest, child.

Rest.

See Exodus 33:12-14; 1 Samuel 15:29; Psalm 18:16-19 and 91:1; Matthew 28:18-20 and 7:7John 3:16 and 15:16; Romans 2:4 and 5:5; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; Ephesians 2:4-5 and 6:12; 1 John 4:18
