ISAIAH 54:13, 17 (2025)

ISAIAH 54:13, 17

All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
and great shall be the prosperity of your children.

No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper,
and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgement.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, says the Lord.

---- mine,

Fear nothing for yourself or for those you love, especially your children. Have I not assured you daily, often, and over all these years when you have brought all your troubles to Me in prayer, that I AM God who has heard you, wiped away your tears, gathered them and kept them in My Heart? Trust in Me and trust in My promises. I AM Jesus, Emmanuel, the Christ, one who saves, God with you, the Anointed of the Father. To be anxious, troubled, afraid, and discouraged shows a lack of faith in the One who has formed you in your mother's womb and who knit you together. I have watched over you carefully. I have walked with you, and I remain with you, leading you gently with love through all the highways and byways until at last I bring you to the place that My Father has prepared for you. This assurance is not just for you, your children, and those you love but also for those you pray for faithfully each day. All that you ask for in prayer is in line with all that My Father desires, and in the end, My hand will save.

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.

PSALM 48:9 (2025)

PSALM 48:9

We ponder your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.

---- mine,

I AM always here in the temple of your body, heart, and soul. I AM ever-present in you, so there is no excuse for you not to live in awareness of My abiding Presence. You are the tabernacle in which I delight to reside but not always, for there are occasions when you are distracted. You allow time to fritter away in useless occupations and waste the precious moments you could spend aware of Me in you and delighting in Me. Keep your gaze fixed on Me no matter what tasks occupy you. Offer all to Me. Tell Me how much you love Me. Few people do, ---- my own. I AM often lonely, for no one comes to Me anymore. So many have drifted further and further away from Me, too occupied with their own selfish little lives. I AM shamefully neglected by so many and most especially by those who are members of My Body. Come to Me often. Be aware always of My Presence in you. Talk to Me, tell Me everything; confide all to Me your joys, fears, sorrows, griefs, the things that make you happy, anything that brings you pleasure and delight. Share your whole life with Me. Let Me be a part of everything you do. Remain in My love and contemplate My infinite and burning love for you. It is a love that gave you everything. I emptied Myself of all so where I AM you may always be. Remain in Me. Remain in My love. Be Mine now and forever.
