“Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!” —1 Chronicles 16:11 (ESV)

I love you! I really do. I want you to know something—you are strong! You are strong because you are My child. My children have supernatural strength. No blood, sweat and tears are required. It just comes naturally for My children. During those times when you’re barely operating, but things are getting done, is when you know My strength is at work. You have free will to do nothing or do something. You don’t need strength to do nothing. But you need strength to do something. Right now, My child, you have things to do but you have no strength. Your trial has zapped your strength and motivation. I just need you to decide to get some things done today. In My strength will you get it done. You don’t need to get it all done—just a couple things, at your pace. Okay? I know, My child, you are struggling. This trial continues to knock the wind out of your sails. But that’s the cyclical nature of trials. They keep coming back. They will either make you stronger in Me, or keep you stranded in the water. The question is—will you ask for My help to get you going again? Because you know I will always help My children. Even when you don’t ask, I help you. But when you ask means you are participating in all this and are more aware of Me. And that’s when you’re in My Presence. That’s when we’re talking and are more in sync. That’s when your faith in Me grows. This is what I desire in you! Keep asking My child. I’m right here! I love you!

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” —James 1:2-5

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” —Isaiah 41:10

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” —Philippians 4:13
