SIRACH 51:11
My prayer was heard; you saved me from destruction and rescued me from a dire situation. That is why I will give you thanks, praise, and bless the name of the Lord.
---- my own,
I want you to know that I hear you; I always hear you. Whether your cry is one of distress, a cry for help, a cry of surrender, or a cry for grace to embrace my will in a difficult situation—in every circumstance, no matter what it may be—I hear you, my own. I always hear you.I am closer to you than your breath. I abide in you, and you in Me. I know you intimately; I feel your pain. I know when you are joyful and sad, when you are distressed and in sorrow, when you are anxious and fearful, and when you feel less than generous and experience impatience. I know all, and I am always here to help you, to listen to you, and to help you carry all your joys and sorrows—to share them with you.
I am yoked to you, and all that concerns you is of absolute and complete concern to Me. Come to Me when you are heavy-burdened and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Lean on Me. Come and rest in My Sacred Heart, and let My love, mercy, and compassion embrace you, cover you, and hold you while you nestle safely and securely in Me.
Fear nothing, my own. Fear nothing that man can do to you; fear only Me, and let this fear be holy and reverent. I am with you always. I have chosen you to be Mine now and forever. In all the trials and tribulations of life, I am here. I am with you. Trials are necessary, suffering is necessary, and through it all, I am in union with you. My love and my grace will see you through it all, for I will ensure that all things work for your good and the good of those you love.
