BELOVED,
REALIZING YOU NEED MY HELP is half the battle. You also need My Word
and My Spirit. The Bible imparts to you essential wisdom: My promises
to be near you and take care of you, exhortations that help you avoid
sinful snares, offers of forgiveness when you "miss the mark," promises
of My Spirit's living in you and empowering you. It is important not to
be surprised or alarmed by the many trials that enter your life.
Until you reach your ultimate home in heaven, you will be at war. When you have a wartime mentality, it's easier to handle difficulties as they arise. You don't waste time and energy bemoaning your circumstances; you avoid the trap of feeling singled out for hardship. I do indeed equip you fully to handle your difficulties. But you have to make the effort to use what I provide: My Presence, My Word, My Spirit. Come to Me when you are heavy laden and you will find rest for your soul.
