The storms are raging. The winds are blowing and dust is swirling all around you. Your eye sight is hindered from the swirls of dust and you are hardly able to breathe. Where is your faith in Me at? Where is your trust? Do you hit your knees in feeling sorry for yourself? Are you hitting your knees crying woe is me, why me, and look at the injustice of all of this? Or are you standing, shielding your face with one hand and with your other hand reached out, knowing that I am holding it, guiding you out of the storm?

Where is your faith and trust in Me? I am the Creator of all things. I am the God of the impossible. But you limit Me with your faith. You limit Me in your life by your faith. You believe of the things that appear to be real and the diversions of the truth, but you do not put your faith and trust in My Word and stand on what I said is so and has not changed.

There are many things you bring before My face, but you come with your own expectations, limits, and desires. Many times you come to Me with a one way conversation. You do not ask Me for the truth, what My plan is or My will. Or you ask but you do not wait for the answer. You become impatient and your heart is not really looking for the truth in the answer. You want Me to just stop the storm instead of guiding you through it.

If I was to stop the storm what would you learn? Why would you ever consider on relying on Me and trusting Me if all I did was remove you from all tests and trials? If I was to do this you would become spoiled, unruly, and fall into every trap of the enemy without hesitation. You would return to the event over and over. If you did not heed My warning the stove was hot and had to learn for yourself by touching it, then I immediately took the pain away and removed the wound, what would stop you from going back again and doing it again? Consequences are a must, little ones. Trials and tests are a must so that you can learn, grow, and gain much wisdom. Quit looking to these things as punishment but as a learning process. I am always with you and will never leave you. All you have to do is call upon Me and I will help you through.

I do not get pleasure out of seeing you, My children, suffer. I do not want to punish any of you for the bad decisions that you have made, but what kind of father would I be if I let My children live unruly? I am a father of love, understanding, forgiveness, patience, truth, order, and balance. I want nothing but the best for each of My children. I give you choices and allow you to make your own decisions and based on those decisions is what happens after that.

If you would only trust Me in your decision making, if you would only listen to what I have said and walk the path I set before you, would you find out that the storms are not as bad as they seem, and joy would return knowing that you have made the right choice and less consequences will be upon you. You will see things as good and not as punishments. You will learn the lessons much faster and the closer you and I will become. All you have to do is put your trust and faith in Me and not against Me.

Reach out for Me and learn that I am here for you. I am not going to leave you stranded. I will give you the shelter that you need and equip you to find the escape from all dangers. I will give you the strength and the courage to abide in My peace and cover you in My love and see you through all things. But first you must reach out and take that first that step of faith to trust Me and know that I am that I am and I will fulfill what I have told you I will do for you.

Today, I want you to find and build your trust in Me. I want you to get your faith to the growth that it needs to be so that you can go through the storms and darkness that has come and will continue to come. A mighty fortress you must become and firmly grounded in Me. Today is the day that you must get this structure built completely solid in Me so that you will not fall or crumble.

Wake up and see the truth. Receive the knowledge that I have for you today. Trust in Me. Have faith in Me. Consult Me and commune with Me. See that I have not set you up to fail but am right here to guide you each and every step along the way of this journey of learning. Let your faith and trust grow and decisions will become easier. You will be able to reach out with no hesitation to Me knowing I will be there. You will no longer wallow in self-pity or focus on yourself but see the whole picture for what it is.

Trust Me little ones. Have faith in Me. Become confident that I am always right beside you and I will never leave you. This is a promise I have made to you in the beginning and I will not go back on My Word.

That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.” (James 1:5-8)
