Don’t worry about your credibility. If I call you to speak up or to step out boldly, I am the One making you credible. Worry about living by My standards of justice and kindness. It is Me who builds your platform, so let Me handle that. You just need to concentrate on the message. Always make it a message of hope, – especially for the broken, the excluded, and the downtrodden. You can’t go wrong by speaking of love and working for justice.

I Move That Way in Your Life
Take notice of the breeze. Sometimes it picks up, moving fast and rustling things around you. Other times it pauses with complete stillness. I move that way in your life. You won’t necessarily be able to know how I am moving, but I have a plan. If life feels flustered it might be My Spirit bringing winds of change. Other times I may be calling you to stay put. You can be calm either way, knowing I love you. Rely on Me to be in control. You don’t have to see, know, or understand everything in order to be at peace. Work on trusting Me in whatever way the wind blows.
Good Day
Let’s have a GOOD day today. Slow things down and take intentional breaks, pausing to find contentment in your surroundings. Take notice of My little gifts I send you in the moment. Everyday things, – sights, sounds, weather, nature, – can bring pleasure and calming. Tell yourself often “God’s got this. Things will work out. I can still enjoy today.” You might be surprised at how much of a difference this approach makes when you trust Me to render Goodness out of every circumstance.
Every Little Bit Used for Good
You know how to do what I have asked. You’ve gained a particular set of skills, knowledge, and experience from all that you’ve been through. I will use every little bit for Good, – even the parts that have hurt the most going through them. Trust Me; I don’t want you to be hurting forever. Rise up, take a deep breath, and remember who you belong to. No child of Mine goes unattended to.
Things Will Work Out Somehow
There is so much in store for you! I know you want to hear about the whole plan from Me right now, but I can’t reveal it all to you just yet. It must be doled out in small increments, – otherwise it would overwhelm you (and I know how susceptible you are to worry). Take delight in today. You don’t have to plan for more than that. Trust Me that things will work out, somehow, because I won’t let you down.
Allow Me to Lead the Process
I will show you the way to walk. There are places I need you to take your stories to eventually. For now, consider this a time of preparation; – a time when I am giving you greater insights while you uncover buried thoughts or hurts, guided by safe people I place in your life. You are that safe person for others, too. My wisdom works its way through many layers. Continue allowing Me to lead the process, peacefully moving you forward one step at a time. You don’t have to give in to old habits of anxiety or excessive planning. I can keep you calm.
Diligent Trust
Giving your life over to Me, – handing over all your goals, decisions, and dreams, – takes diligent trust. Choosing to allow My good intentions for you rule your steps requires frequent evaluation of whose will you are trying to follow. Know that at every moment I’ll provide you with enough stamina and drive. I also offer opportunities for rest and peace. The bottom line is this: I love you and want what is best for you and My world. You are an essential part of that! I am your Creator, calling you to live life with and for Me every day with diligent trust that this is the right thing to do.
Recognize My Presence
I know you question why you can’t seem to tangibly feel My Presence. It’s hard to explain in words because the ways I am with you vary. Use all of your senses today trying to notice how I reach out to you. Learn to recognize My Presence all around you, connecting inward to your Spirit with reassurance of My love and protection. Light, color, contact with others, scents, sounds, memories…my reach to you is infinite. Trust that I am constantly with you and the evidence will unfold.
Brave Steps
You’ve taken brave steps lately. Others cannot see or truly understand the effort it takes for you to step out, pushing beyond your anxiety. I see it, though. I know when you are using your trust in Me to back you up, and I’m oh-so-proud of you. I am with you always. With each brave step I restore your confidence. Walk boldly today, strengthened and empowered by My Love for you. Having Me on your side means nothing can stand against us. You can take things in stride.
I Am Your Protector and Guide
Be gentle on yourself. Put caution tape around your fragile, vulnerable heart. When others can’t see or don’t want to know what you’ve been through, I see and I know. It’s okay to keep a safe distance, praying for those who aren’t treating you well right now. I can change these circumstances in due time. Until that happens, know that I am your Protector and Guide. You can concentrate on today while My hand is at work in you and in them.
