For the Lord would say, "There are many harassments coming against you. There are many things that my Word says are like little foxes that are coming to eat your vine, to cause you to feel unsettled, to cause you to feel like everything will not be ok."

But the Lord says, "Remember that I am the the eye of the middle of the storm. That I can cause you to walk in a place of peace while the storm is raging around you. For I would say that I am raising up a shield between you and the enemy. For haven't I said when the enemy comes in like a flood, I will raise a standard. And I would say that there are things that are delayed in your life, but I say no more delay. There are things that are harassments that are long standing harassments. Things that you have said, 'Lord, if you would just do this one things, I would feel ok,' well I am able to do that one thing. So do not let fear rise up in your. Do not let anxiety rule your life. For I have heard your prayers.

When you said to me, 'Lord, this one thing I need,' I heard your cry. I recorded it that you need that one thing. Remember, I am your Father, and when you come and you petition me, I listen to you. I am not a god who is not available. I am always available to you. There are some things in your life that have become very, very knotted, very tied to other things. So sometimes when you see me do not see me answer that one thing, I am in the process of untying other things that are in attachment to that thing. But I am working."

The Lord says, "I promise I am working. The Holy Spirit will comfort you in the midst of the storm, will give you the grace that you need that is sufficient. For also I say, I will not give you more than you bear. I am under this load with you. You feel alone. You feel even to the point that your anxiety would take you under emotionally, but I would say to you, labor to enter into the rest, come to a place of abiding in me, and let me take the weight, the heavy burden, the heavy load off of you, of all of these things. Because I assure you, I care for you. I assure you, I am listening to you. And as you come to trust me, know this, there will be a day and you will look around and you will say, 'I can't believe it happened, I can't believe it turned'. Even the bad things I will turn for good, because that is who I am," says the Lord.
