In Fear, God is with you, God's timing, Love, Trust, Worry

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 them see

In God is with you, Less of me, more of God, Letting go, Your will, not mine

Listen to this week’s word

Go, Daughter.

Let them see more of me.

More of me, less of you.

That is where redemption is.

For them and for you.

Drink it in, and rest in that today.

I love you, daughter.

Let me move you

In God is with you, Letting go, Move forward, Phillip the Evangelist, Reliance, Trust, Your will, not mine

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, I am guiding you now.

I can guide you through everything.

You just have to let me.

Let go of what the world tells you to clutch.

Let go of burdens that are too heavy for you.

Let go of trying to push that boulder.

Let go of moving “forward” without me.

Without me, you cannot go forward.

Only with me can you move forward.

Just listen and obey and walk.

Remember Phillip?

He walked down a road until I showed him what was there for him.

Then I moved him forward.

All that walking, and then I moved him.

I’ll move you, too, daughter.

I’ll move you where I need you.

But you don’t have to do the walking alone, child.

I’m walking with you, sustaining you, loving you, holding you, feeding you, giving you water.

It will all be fine for you.

Remember that.

See Exodus 33:12-16; Deuteronomy 31:8; Psalm 46:10; Psalm 143:8-10; Ecclesiastes 2:9-11; Acts 8:26-40; Matthew 11:28-30; John 14, 15:1-17, and 16:12-15

Oh, daughter, you will see what I have for you, but you can see what I have for today, too.

Every day is a gift. There is something in every day.

I am with you every day. Always.

I never tire of you.

I know you have dreams and all the things you wish you could do and all the things you wish you didn’t have to do.

But I am with you in all these things.

I don’t leave you to fight it out alone or even enjoy it alone.

I want you to share it all with me.

I’m there. I’m in it anyway. Remember I’m there.

Acknowledge me, yes, but invite me to be with you.

I like when you come to me.

I never turn you away. I always want to help.

No task is too big or too small for me.

You and I can achieve so much more together.

On your own, you can do so little. With me, you can do so much.

So much more than you can think or ask.

What I have is yours, daughter, because you are my inheritance.

See it and accept it.

Take what is given to you not just for one thing or one area of your life but for everything.

See how my glory and my abundance fills everything in your life.

See Deuteronomy 4:20 and 32:9-11 (NIV translations*); Deuteronomy 8:17-18 and 31:8; Psalm 16:5, 7-8, 11; Psalm 37:3-5; Psalm 139:7-10; Isaiah 54:10; Matthew 6:33-34 and 28:18-20; John 15:5-8; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 4:11-13; Colossians 1:11-17; 1 Peter 5:6-7

*I have used the New International Version for these verses in Deuteronomy because of the word “inheritance,” which is also in the King James Version. In the New Living Translation, it is written as “special possession” in Deuteronomy 4:20 and 32:9. The words are synonymous, but “inheritance” is clearer in this case. However it’s stated, know that you are precious to God.
