I AM THE ONE WHO KEEPS YOU SAFE. You tend to rely heavily on your thinking and planning, as if that is where your security lies. When you start to feel anxious about something, your mind goes into overdrive -- searching for solutions, searching for security. All the while I am with you, holding you by your right hand.
Beware of trusting in yourself -- which is foolish. Instead, walk in wisdom and you will be kept safe. The essence of wisdom is to trust in Me more than in yourself or other people. I stand ready to guide you with My counsel, so bring all your concerns to Me. When you are feeling confused, it may be helpful to write out your prayers, asking Me to show you the way forward. Then wait in My Presence, giving Me time to guide your mind while you focus on Me and My Word. You can whisper, "Jesus," to help you stay focused. My Name -- representing all that I AM -- is a strong tower; those who run to it are safe.
