“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” —2 Corinthians 12:10

I love you, My child! I know it’s not easy as this trial of yours continues. Like I’ve said before, let’s take it one day at a time. Start off today by surrendering and making yourself available to Me. And stay in My Presence all day long by constantly praying & talking to Me and reading My Word. I understand waking up in the morning nowadays is difficult. It makes Me sad as I know what you’re thinking when you first open your eyes—“I’m still here.” I know you’d rather be with Me in heaven right now. But because you woke up in your bed today means you still have My work to do. You still have many encounters with others where you will be used by Me. Despite your dejected, broken disposition, you are ripe to be used by Me. It’s when you’re weak is when you are most humble; and this is when I make you strong because you are relying on Me. Just know that some of these encounters may not necessarily be new people. They may be people you already know. These encounters can be in person, via phone or some other communication technology. So you don’t need to look for it. I’ll orchestrate these encounters. You just be in My Presence, praying unceasingly and staying available. As My willing vessel, My work is done through you. So most of the time, you won’t even know you’re doing My work. But that’s not what matters. What matters is that you’re in My Presence. And by being in My Presence, you can and will be used by Me. My child, this is the affirmation you need to get you through the day. You have a purpose because I said so! Me—the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the Creator of all things—desires to use you, despite what you feel about yourself right now. Maintain your humility, My child, and I will exalt you. I promise! I love you!

“I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith” —Philippians 1:23-25

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” —James 4:10 (ESV)

“pray without ceasing” —1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)
