1 Chronicles 5:20 They cried out to God during the battle, and He answered their prayer because they trusted in Him.
It really is that simple. Cry out to Me. I hear you. I know your heart. I know your desires, your hurts, your grievances, your needs. I love you and I want what is best for you. Always. In all things. But, Child, can you say you have that simple faith? Do you trust Me? Do you just trust? In all things? In all circumstances? After all is said and done – that is the issue. Do you trust Me? That is the door that opens My ability to act. Faith. Trust. Belief. Knowledge that I am who I say I am and that I do what I promise to do. That I love you. Always. With a love that does not depend upon what you do. Or who you are. Or what you say. That love is constant, eternal. Open your heart and accept it. Lay down your arms and allow Me in. Break down those walls and let Me enter. Wholly and completely lay your heart bare to Me. I will not break it as others have. I will not walk away as others have. I will not betray you as others have. I will not willingly inflict harm and pain as others have. I know you have been shattered by the evil done you. I know you have been torn apart over and over again. But, that was not done by Me. That was not condoned by Me. And though it was allowed to happen, I did not leave your side during any of it. Even when you were unable to sense My presence, I was there. Carrying you. Loving you. Working on your healing. Strengthening you. Giving you the supernatural ability to lift your head, get up and walk on. In the pain. In spite of the pain. In the damage. In spite of the damage. I’ve always been with you in it and will always be with you in it. Trust that.
