TOBIT 7:17 (2026)

TOBIT 7:17

17 “Have courage, my child, 

the God of heaven and earth will change your sorrow into joy. 

Have confidence, my daughter!”

---- my own,

Take to heart the promise I make to you this day. Write it on your heart. Embed it in your spirit. I AM God, I AM the eternal Word of the Living God, and I always keep My promises. Take heed to what I AM saying to you today, it is what I have been saying to you for a while, and yet you have allowed gloom, doom, and sadness to cast a weary pall over your soul and your spirit. You have lost your joy andyour peace because you refuse to take Me at My Word. Have confidence! Have courage! Have faith! I AM the Lord your God who has called you from darkness into My own marvelous light. I have declared you to be Mine. I have carved your name on the palm of My Hand. I have rescued you from the snares of the enemy. I have set your feet on solid ground. I hear all your prayers. I have heard your sighs, I have collected your tears. I desire what you desire as well. Justice and peace for your children and their salvation. Continue to pray, but do so with joy and peace, with faith and confidence, with the certainty that God, your Abba, who loves you, will give you all that your heart desires, and you will rejoice with Me as a young bride rejoices in her bridegroom.

PSALM 144:11-12 (2026)

PSALM 144:11-12

Rescue me from the evil sword and from the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose words are full of deceit. 

May our sons be like plants well-nurtured and full grown; and our daughters, like pillars that adorn the corners of the temple.

---- my own,

Trust Me! When you pray, pray with faith. Perservere in prayer. Do not give up even though you have been praying for the same intentions - the conversion of your children, for years, and nothing seems to be happening. Nothing changes. This is what the evil one is whispering into your ear. I hear you. I always hear you. At a time of My choosing, I will answer, and you will praise and glorify Me. Have faith! It pleases My Father that you do not give up asking. Keep knocking, keep seeking, keep asking, and your prayers will all be answered. I desire what you ask for your children even more than you do. I want them to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth, and they will. Be patient. I AM at work for good in all things. While you wait for an answer, be joyful. Let praise and thanksgiving fill your heart in advance for the wonderful things that I AM about to do. Above all, you must not become despondent when your prayers are not answered in the time and manner that you desire. I AM God, and I know all, I see all. I know when and how to give you all that your heart desires. You stay faithful, stay hopeful, and remain always in My love.
