Restore Your Faith: Trust God Despite UncertaintySample

When What You Believe Is True, Isn’t

Come back to Me. You don’t have to feel far away. You don’t have to believe you are disappointing Me.

There are whispers you hear that aren't from Me. There are whispers to lure you away, that want to pull you far from the place I have for you, the place I am with you, right now.

Listen close: You are with Me, my love, and when you hear whispers that say I am far away, that say you aren’t measuring up, ask Me what I think before you believe them. I’m never going to ignore you when you come to Me with a heart fully open. I’m never going to turn you away, and I love it when you trust Me with your every thought.

Let Me hold your thoughts, your dreams, your fears. Let Me contain them, gather them up with my hands so you don’t feel crushed by their weight.

I place my hand upon your heart, the beating of your mortal body, while your soul, your spirit, is connected with Me. You are here and you are there—your body breathing air I breathed while I walked there, your soul breathing in my Spirit as you walk here, with Me. For here, you sit next to Me, claiming your place among the saints and lifting your voice and soul in praise.

My daughter, I wrap you up in my truth, and you are free. Choose my truth over whispers that call you away and you will stay in my peace. You will stay and know my voice more deeply. For I have given you everything you need to discern the false from truth.

And pray for more truth to fill your heart. My truth is your battle armor: my community helps you hear Me and know Me; my words steer you and feed you and lift you from darkness to light; my love is not a distant, theoretical love, but a fierce, I-am-here-and-I’ve-got-you love.

For I am love. I am love.

Stay close to Me and the whispers will quiet. Stay close to Me and I will rise up for you. But to be rescued I ask you to believe in the Rescuer. I am steadfast and present, my darling.

Look up.

Look up.
