“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” —Romans 8:26 (ESV)

I love you, My child. I love that you’re constantly praying to Me throughout the day. Sometimes you speak your words and sometimes you speak through the silence of your heart. Either way, I love hearing from you. And I want you to know, I hear every word! Throughout this difficult trial of yours, I’ve seen you on your knees many times repenting and begging for a miracle. I’ve seen you sit quietly for long periods of time speaking to Me with your heart so broken that your words cannot be spoken with your lips. I’ve seen you cry to Me with tears and without because you have none left to cry. I’ve seen you read My Word desperately hoping to find something that will reassure you that I will grant the miracle you’re looking for. My child, you may not fully understand your trial this side of eternity, but know that it is happening for My good reasons. But I can tell you this—your brokenness is drawing you closer to Me. Being close to Me and in My Presence is ultimately My will for all My children. Trials are often the way for this to happen. It brings you closer to Me and away from the world, as the world’s nature is to draw you away from Me. And when you’re closer to Me and further away from the world—don’t look now but you’re being “set apart,” which means you’re growing in holiness. I desire you to be holy, as I Am Holy; to grow in sanctification. Your sanctification is of utmost importance to Me until you join Me in heaven. So while My heart breaks for you as you go through your trial; know that My heart also rejoices knowing that you’re in My Presence growing closer to Me! A miracle is indeed happening beyond what you know. You’ll see what I mean one day. Until then, please trust Me. Your heart is still broken, I know. But I’m literally right here, right next to you, My child. Keep talking to Me! I hear ya and I love you!
