If I Close a Door

If you are challenged by disappointment, hurt feelings or discouragement, turn to Me for comfort. Do not retaliate when these things happen. If I close a door or you encounter hardships, consider that I may merely be nudging you in a new direction. I never place hurt in someone’s life, though. Don’t attribute things that cause pain to being derived by Me because I am not that kind of God. Instead, recognize that I accompany all when they are hurting or in trouble. I’ll walk with you, picking up the pieces and providing healing into a new design for good. Work on not taking offense. Instead, take steps of trust, knowing that you are ever so loved.

Let’s Trade Seats

I see when you are perching yourself on a pedestal of righteousness. I know that stems from you feeling hurt or wronged. It takes so much negative energy to be constantly judging other’s behaviors or intentions, or feeling bitter, angry, and annoyed by their actions. How about this: let’s trade seats for a while. Let Me be the judge of others as you climb down from that high seat, allowing Me to be the one carrying the burden of criticism. Only I can see the truth. Find that in walking humbly you can also experience greater peace. Let Me relieve you of unnecessary burdens and rid you of residual hurt so you can walk freely.

Removing Toxic Thoughts

I am your Lord of light, warmth, and security. Relax and unclench your jaw. Remind yourself right in this moment of how I’ve loved and cared for you in the past, always bringing you through rough patches. You are not destined for terrible things to happen all the time! Ask for My help in removing toxic thoughts and needless worry. Allow Me to wrap you in a blanket of reassurance today. Let Me warm you to your CORE. I am yours, I am yours, I am yours!

Trust Me to Problem-Solve

“Slow your roll”. Take time to pause and remember that I’m with you and I’m the One in charge of helping. I am a loving leader, intent upon guiding you in the right steps for your growth and well-being. It’d help if you would let go of more things and trust Me to problem-solve on your behalf. You never have to work everything out alone. When you find yourself kicking into ‘fixing mode’, – just stop. Pause, listen, and trust Me instead.

Pulling You Out Of Despair

I’ve come through before and I will again (and again!). My involvement in your life never comes to an end. See Me as your Savior today, – the One pulling you out of despair and anxiety, the One guiding your choices, and the One giving opportunities for HOPE. I redeem Goodness out of all tragedies and difficulties. When everything seems daunting, look to Me for your strength and choose to trust My Presence and might.

The Distress Of The World

I know it’s hard for you to hear Me right now. The distress of the world is great and easily distracts you. Take in moments here and there to breathe deeply, using a mantra like “God is with us”, and “I am loved”. Do this several times until My reassurance sinks in, promoting a sense of calm despite the storms around you. Seek My peace and find it always available to you.

You Can Handle Change

You can handle change. It will go better if you look to Me during the transition. When you believe My plans for you are also for the good of all, this will relieve the nagging worry and anxiety you are prone to feeling. Embrace the idea that change is good. I’ve got this, and you can “roll with it” while leaning intensely upon Me as the driver through it all.

Let Me Replenish Your Energy

You are bone-tired; I can see that. I also see your willing Spirit calling you to move on, one step at a time. I am with you, shouldering your burdens and assisting with the journey when it feels too tough or exhausting. Close your eyes and rest with Me for a moment. Let Me replenish your energy and refresh your perspective. Learn to trust My constant Companionship and My design for your life. Practice knowing that each day is designed with certain interactions and outcomes beyond your mortal vision. If your aim is to complete My work, you will find peace and satisfaction in knowing and trusting that all is well, and ‘enough’ is truly enough.

Hush the Critical Voice

Be gentle on yourself today. Hush the critical voice, holding tight to the truth that you are loved and likeable. This life is not about being perfect. You are not ‘bad’ when you experience emotional reactions to circumstances or interactions. If you are triggered by something another says or does, step back and ask for My help with perspective. I’ll give you the words to say and the loving way to respond which validates you yet maintains the dignity of others. You are oh-so-valuable to Me. I desire for you to find and keep inner peace. The best way there is to hold My hand hourly.

Walk Boldly With Me

You are ready, – more ready than you know. I always wait to assign you major tasks until I know you are prepared. Trust Me. Acknowledge Me. Give a silent, humble nod in My direction as you step onto the podium of this new year ahead, bowing with awareness of My Sovereignty over your life. You can be keenly aware of My Presence, giving you the confidence to speak and the patience to listen well. You are Mine, – forever and always, – first and foremost. Walk boldly with Me, confident in how I’ve prepared you for the tasks to be completed by you.
