I am guiding the boat. You’ve been a good captain, steering the ship thus far. Your boat is sea-worthy and will not sink because I have built it. Keep your eyes on the Mast, – looking forward, – and on the Master who guides you. I will bless your journey. I see your coming and your going, watching as you navigate both calm waters and stormy seas. The troubles will pass; just keep steering. I am all you will need to stay afloat.

No matter what discomfort you may be experiencing, you can still be calm. Patient endurance is a gift I can help you with. Loving Me and honoring My wishes doesn’t mean life will be pain-free, but I can assure you it will always be manageable. Make that your aim – to feel happy about how well you are managing despite any hardships. Pat yourself on the back for already enduring many challenges. I am pleased with how you embrace life’s difficulties with a positive and hopeful outlook, and I will help you do just that when you are still struggling . I am with you and for you, always.

Be slow to judge. We have a world full of people’s opinions, and it is in one’s nature to assess people or situations as “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”. My teaching is different. I ask only for love. Love first, and then any judgment can be properly filtered into how to respond. I also teach you to love yourself first, and recognize the constant barrage of self-criticism within attacking you, trying to lead you astray. For some, this respect and love for self or others comes very hard. Their tendency is to lash out against love due to past hurts. Remember with these that love can still endure and even triumph. Love fuels compassion, patience, and endurance. If you learn to trust Me in these matters, My Grace can aid in bringing healing from poor judgment and misguided actions. Persist in doing Good.

You are attending to many people and things right now. It’s easy to forget My sovereignty over life when you are so busy, – and perhaps misguidedly thinking “it’s all up to you” to handle so much. With discipline of your thoughts, you can learn to take each task and conversation before Me. Acknowledge My Goodness in all your ways so that My divine hand can guide your words and actions. Find a peace-filled day in this practice of the art of submission. I may have given you much to handle on My behalf, but never will I tip the scale of endurance beyond what I will equip you with to take it all on effectively.

I have called you by name. It is My job to take care of the others that you are worried about, not all yours. Remember that My plans are for your welfare, not dismay. For now, endurance and expansiveness are words for you to concentrate on. You have been gifted with strength and stamina, which will help when it comes time to move forward. Expand your view and open yourself to possibility. When courage and bravery are needed to take steps in a new direction, you will know. Don’t forget that I love you, and I don’t want or expect everything to be so hard for you all the time. Joy will return. There is time enough for everything, though, so just concentrate on appreciating the day before you.

There are ebbs and tides of difficult emotions that naturally come and go in this life, You can endure them all reasonably well as you lean into My companionship. I face all of these with you, pointing out when you are overreacting or assuming too much responsibility. Instead of chastising yourself or trying desperately to control things that distress you, pick them up and hold them to My Light. Together, let’s observe what is going on and gently set it down, not succumbing to awfulizing emotions or letting fear of the unknown overwhelm you. I will always help you bear what is. Breathe in trust of My helping hand.

I have given you many talents and abilities. One of them is strength to endure hard things. In silent trust, I call you to go about your day knowing that nothing you go through has to be done alone. I am right there, helping to pick up the load and carrying it in partnership with you. There isn’t a single thing that I’m not handling with and for you, or equipping you to manage. There’s no need to try going solo. Lean on Me in confident trust of all you can get through.

I know you are hurting. I see you sending up signals and flares, feeling stranded and a little abandoned. You are not lost, though, My child. I know exactly where you are, and I am working behind the scenes toward the recovery that is ahead for you. It may mean enduring pain for a while longer, but you can handle some discomfort. I will give you the strength to manage each day, one day at a time. Asking “why” and feeling discouraged won’t help, even though this is a normal reaction. Come to Me and let Me help you bear with this until it passes. You can do hard things with Me at your side and within your spirit.
Hang in there, – we’re not through yet. There is more introspection to be had. You are getting closer to seeing with My eyes. I want your whole, tender heart to be ALL MINE. Look to Me with love today. Love Me, love My world. Stay close to Me when you are facing new things. I am familiar to you and can help settle you down. Eventually, I take you through all sorts of newness and change. You don’t have to view it as too hard or grumble about it, because it’s all going to lead to something majestic one day. Meanwhile, hang in there with Me.
