My child, come close and let your heart
0:01
be quiet for just a moment. I know how
0:04
loud your thoughts have been and how
0:05
heavy the days have felt. I see the
0:07
effort it takes to keep going when you
0:08
feel uncertain, when answers seem
0:10
distant, and when peace feels just out
0:12
of reach. You have wondered if you are
0:14
strong enough, if you are hearing me
0:16
clearly, if you are walking the right
0:17
path. Hear me now. You are not walking
0:20
alone. And you have never been beyond my
0:21
care. You have been carrying concerns
0:23
that were never meant to live in your
0:25
heart this long. the worry about
0:26
tomorrow, the weight of expectations,
0:29
the fear of making the wrong choice. Lay
0:31
these down with me. I am not asking you
0:33
to have everything figured out. I am
0:35
asking you to trust that I am guiding
0:37
you even when the way forward feels
0:38
unclear. What you see as confusion, I
0:41
see as a moment to draw you closer to
0:43
me. Do not let the pace of the world
0:44
make you believe you are falling behind.
0:47
I am not rushing you. I am shaping you.
0:49
The quiet seasons are not punishment.
0:51
They are preparation. I am strengthening
0:53
your discernment, softening your heart,
0:55
and teaching you to listen for my voice
0:57
above all others. Even when you feel
0:59
unsure, my hand is steady upon you. When
1:02
fear tries to settle in, remember that I
1:04
am your refuge. When doubt speaks
1:06
loudly, remember that my promises do not
1:08
change. I am faithful when you feel
1:10
weary, patient when you feel frustrated,
1:13
and present when you feel alone. You are
1:15
not defined by your struggles or by how
1:17
heavy this season feels. You are defined
1:19
by my love, which does not waver or
1:21
fade. Take the next step with me, even
1:23
if it is small. Trust me with what you
1:26
cannot control. Choose peace where
1:28
anxiety has tried to rule. Rest your
1:30
heart, my child. I am calming the storm
1:33
within you, guiding you through what
1:34
surrounds you, and leading you toward
1:36
what is good. You are safe. You are
1:38
loved. And you are held now and
