- Father, nothing's going right with the mortgage. It's been such a time of stress. I've failed miserably to trust...to Rest...to "Be still and Know that You are God." They say you find out what's in a person when they are squeezed. For the past two weeks, I've been squeezed and not much of You has emerged, only my fretful - myopic- anxious - grudge-holding self. Now is when I need to turn away form this unflattering mirror and look only at YOU, Who came to save me from myself. Oh, how I want to walk in triumph through these tests! To praise You no matter what! To thank You no matter what happens! Help me, oh God of my heart! Help me let go and let You arise and shine in my deepest being. 

+ My beloved, It is for just such moments of weakness and failure that I gave you the Comforter, the Advocate, the One Who 'gets you'...sees your potential....bypasses your disappointment in yourself and lifts your tear-stained face to the One Who loves you perfectly. He has the power to work even these moments of weakness into good! Trust Me NOW...this day and refuse to contemplate anything but the triumph of My dazzling will for your life. Death has been eating away at you. The enemy of your soul loves to kill your faith and any hope you have in My goodness. He loves to make you believe that you are a hopeless case and that your God is a fraud. Hah! Look at that! Would you ever think I am a fraud - one who is out to hurt you...cheat you...take from you? See the lies? When you look at them in print, they seem like something you never would believe! But, my little one, this is exactly what you have been choosing to believe these past few days. This liar, who is out to steal your identity is a master at identity fraud! You must resolutely hold on to the irrevocable facts that I have placed deep in your spirit...the promises that declare that "Nothing will ever separate you from My Perfect Love...that "God is For you...never could be against!" Listen, beloved. You must be ever diligent to step back and look at what you are believing. When you embrace the Truth of Who I am and will always, always be for you...your ONLY response can be Joy and Rejoicing because you know I never change. You know you are Mine. This enemy cannot be ignored. You have allowed him to literally eat away at all of the promises that you possess. You have listened as he has whispered these dark lies (about Me!) and it has taken a toll on you. But, my beloved, fret not! You have sought Me...called out for help and I am right here to help clear the air. What you need to always remember is that I have Promised that "no weapon formed against you will (ever) prosper."... that "I have come that you might have LIFE and have it to the full! This is the Truth and it will never fail to set you free! So, relax my honey. Drop all the ways you blew it and rejoice. In Me all things are new. That includes YOU!
