“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” —Philippians 3:12

I love you! Lately, you’ve been having more bad days than good. You haven’t been feeling well. And last night you were in tears as you realized part of why you’re struggling in your trial. You’re selfish, My child. I say this with love. Your trial has been too much about you & your feelings. I understand you’re sad & depressed—you lost so much. Your life has been dramatically altered, yet again, so quickly that your feet haven’t landed. Know My heart continues to break for you as much as I desire for you to heal. I said to you yesterday, let’s start to move away from your sadness at your pace. Pace means movement, no matter the speed. Right now, you’ve stopped. You’re drowning in your sadness. You’re stuck in the mud constantly asking Me, “Why is all this happening to me?” I want you to ask Me more, “What do You want me to learn?” The focus of your trial is too lopsided towards you & your sadness. You’re struggling, I get it. The Enemy is persuading you to keep the focus on you. He doesn’t want you to move forward to healing. But I do. My child, look to Me so we can shift your focus to a more healthy balance towards Me & the others still in your life. When this happens, you’ll start to slowly press on, move forward, away from the Enemy and begin to see the answers to the “What” question. And eventually you won’t be stuck asking “Why” as much. Stay in My Presence and you will be able to resist the Enemy and grow into this balanced mind set on a more consistent basis. My child, stay in My Word and keep talking to Me, okay? Keep asking Me “What” more. And you’ll naturally start to see the “Why.” I love you!
