TOBIT 7:17 (2025)

TOBIT 7:17

“Have courage, my child, 

the God of heaven and earth will change your sorrow into joy.
Have confidence, my daughter!”

---- mine,

Sometimes, it might seem to you that the wait is so long that what you have been promised will never happen while you are yet alive. In moments like these, look back on your life and count your blessings. Take note of all the times your prayers were answered, more often than not in ways you least expected, and your heart rejoiced. While you wait for your prayers to be answered, use the time to draw closer to Me by reading My Word and drawing confidence from it. Grow in faith and trust that the God of all mercy and compassion, who is slow to anger and rich in mercy, is waiting even more eagerly to give you all you ask for and more. Nothing is of greater importance to Me than the salvation of your soul, so you must trust Me and not grow weary of praying, asking, and seeking, and in the end, I will give you all you have asked for and more. Pray, hope, and be anxious about nothing.

ESTHER 14:3-4, 12, 14 (2025)

ESTHER 14:3-4, 12, 14

She prayed to the Lord God of Israel, and said: ‘O my Lord, you only are our king; help me, who am alone and have no helper but you, for my danger is in my hand. 

Remember, O Lord; make yourself known in this time of our affliction, and give me courage, O King of the gods and Master of all dominion! But save us by your hand, and help me, who am alone and have no helper but you, O Lord.

---- mine,

In the time of your distress, when you called out to Me, I have always heard and answered your prayers. I Am close to you; I remain close to you so close that I know your thoughts; I hear your sighs, I see your tears. Before the words come to your lips, I have heard your heart. I Am with you always. Continue to pray, to hope. and to trust Me and continue to bring all your prayers and supplications to Me. You are not alone, you are never alone for I Am Emmanuel; I Am the God who saves and who is always with His people, the members of His Body. I AM the Christ, the anointed one of the Father, and I have saved you, redeemed you, consecrated you, anointed you, called you by name, and written your name on the palms of my hands. I will never forsake you or those you love. I came that those who are Mine may have life, life in its fullness, and this life I give you as well, for you are Mine. Be not afraid, ---- my own, I AM God, and I keep my promises.
