PSALM 34:17-22
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,and rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
and saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20 He keeps all their bones;
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil brings death to the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
---- my own,
Take heart. Calm your chaotic and turbulent thoughts. All your worries sour your disposition and make it very difficult to live in harmony with those around you. This chaos comes not from Me, but from the evil spirit. Do not give the devil a foothold when you can live in perfect peace, resting in My love and My trusting in My will. You know by now, without a doubt, that I AM close to you and to your loved ones who cry out to Me for help. I hear, and I will answer. You will see the mighty hand of the Lord raised high to crush the enemy and to foil all the plans of those who set themselves against My little ones, those who trust Me, those who cry to Me for help, those who make their home in My Sacred Heart. Every member of My Body must endure afflictions, troubles, trials, and grief, for all who are called by My Name are invited to drink from My Cup of suffering. It is, however, only a little sip, not the entire draught, yet you are so easily upset, allowing the trials to disturb our peace. Any suffering that I invite you to accept is for your good, for your purification, and to strengthen your faith, for at the end of it, you will see the triumphant victory of my glorious right arm. I will foil the evil plans of all those who set themselves against the one for whom you pray for Me night and day. Be not afraid, ---- mine, you will see in the days to come how the almighty hand of the risen Lord will foil all the plans of the Enemy and crush the evildoers who dare to think that they can set themselves against me and win. Be still and know that I AM God, and begin even now to praise and thank Me for the victory banners that will be unfurled at the end of these battles, for the victory is won.
