I am clutching Your promises in my hand, Lord. They are the only thing pushing me forward into tomorrow. My soul and the wellness of my heart lie in Your palms.
The Lord’s hands enclosed around mine, gently moving my clenched fists over my heart. “Hold tight to My promises while waiting for their fulfillment. Keep them hidden deep inside your heart so they can take root.”
Staring into His kind face, I replied, “The uncertainty of this battle makes me anxious for the future, concerned for what it holds for me, Lord.”
“Your struggle tugs at My heart, but those difficulties will allow Me to work within a seemingly impossible situation. There has to be unfortunate things in life to contrast the good I will bring from it. Trust Me with your future and everything that unfolds until that day arrives.”
Holding me in His arms as I sobbed, the Lord said, “Be confident of My Words and rest in My hope: wait patiently for what you do not yet have. None of My Words will ever fail, My dear child. Remain close to Me and I will strengthen your heart. Remember, I always see you and hear you.”
“Intercede for me in my weakness, Lord. Strengthen my resolve. Lead me to special people who will encourage and assist me with nurturing the promises to which I am holding in my heart. May I be found worthy of Your trust, Lord, as I wait for the fulfillment of the Words You have spoken to me.”
Comforted by Romans 8:24-25, 28 Psalm 33:18 Psalm 31:24
