I AM TAKING CARE OF YOU. I know how hard this is to believe when conditions that are troubling you get worse instead of better. It is easy to feel as if I am letting you down -- as if I really don't care about what you are going through. You know I could instantly change your circumstances, and you can't understand why I seem to be so unresponsive to your prayers. But I repeat: I am taking care of you.
To become aware of My loving Presence, you need to relax and stop trying to control things. Give up your futile efforts to think your way through your problems. Fall back into My strong arms with a sigh of trust. Cease striving and simply enjoy being in My Presence. Though there are many things you do not understand, you can rest in My unfailing Love. This Love is independent of all circumstances, and it will never be taken away from you.
Although My ways may be mysterious and unfathomable, My Love is perfect and everlasting. Watch in hope for Me, remembering that I am God your Savior.
- Jesus
