Many are the afflictions of the righteous but I deliver them out of them all. I have been saying this over and over again; but My children still do not believe Me. I can and I will deliver you out of the miry clay that your feet are stuck in as you call out to Me. I am a forgiving Father, full of grace and mercy and long suffering. I am not like mere mortal man who gives up on each other. I never give up on one of My own. I will stick with you through the thick and the thin and as you continually cry out to Me for help, I will send help your way. But you must be the one calling out for help…not your brother nor your sister, but you. It is your walk. It is your foundation that is shaky. I understand the difficult times and I understand the way the enemy works, but I still am God and there is none other like unto Me.

Take your stand and keep standing. You take a stand and then at the least little nod of the enemy’s head, you crumble. Where is your fortitude? Where is your Faith? Take a good long look at who you are and where you came from and understand that the enemy of your soul is continually trying to take you back to the past where all your faults and failures are forever looming before you.

On the other hand, I am constantly trying to keep your eyes focused on Me and the path I have laid out before you. Whom are you going to succumb to? Only you know.
