Good morning,
My child, you have felt like you were paralyzed, in a place where it seemed as if you could not move. The enemy, who is a liar, has lied to you through your feelings. He has told you that I have cast you aside because you were not moving as you had in prior seasons. I know the season that you are in, and I have never left you alone to deal with it on your own. I have fully equipped you for the time that you are walking through now. I will never leave you or abandon you when you go through the valley and the dry places where there seems to be no water. I bring springs in the wilderness; I send manna to all who will continue to trust in Me. Remember that those who wait on Me shall renew their strength; they shall be restored and regenerated. Waiting is not inactivity; it is hopeful and active, and as you continually trust Me, your heart will begin to be filled with more courage. Know that you will see the goodness of your Father in the land of the living. This season is developing in you a confident expectation of trusting Me more. There is nothing that has come into your life that I will not cause you to rise up above if you stay in My hands. I will cause you to develop spiritual muscles to endure, and then stretch beyond the boundaries you have felt confined by. I Am making you the person that I ordained for you to be. The path that you are on is part of the process that makes you more like Me. I know that it seems hard on your soul, but you have been renewing your mind so that your emotions and your will yield to the great work that I Am doing in you. We, you, and I will always overcome. You will come forth from this fiery ordeal as pure gold.
“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. (1 Peter 5:8-10)
“Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14)
“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power;They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];They will run and not become weary,They will walk and not grow tired.” (Isaiah 40:31)
Love,
