"Behold, I am with you always ...." These words shall be your comfort and confidence at all times. I will not leave My own if they only desire Me, and I will help you bear all suffering if you only trust Me with faith. I will certainly impose suffering on you, but only so that you remember Me and call on Me as a Helper in all adversity, for help. For I want to strengthen your faith, I want you to let your faith become that strength that no earthly suffering can make you anxious and despondent anymore. You are still despondent and threaten to collapse under the resistances I send you, but when these can no longer harm you, when nothing can make you waver in your faith in My help, you have reached that degree of strength of faith that I can work through you.
Behold, how much easier life will be for you then, when you no longer have to pay attention to the daily oppositions and do not have to worry about daily life. To be a true child of your Father in heaven, also requires fullest trust that you will be protected in every adversity and danger, and so I want to know My children to stand in faith and trust in God .... I want them to always and constantly seek Me, to approach Me fearlessly and with full faith that their requests may be fulfilled at any time .... They shall always turn their hearts to Me and never become of little faith, and My love will pay attention to their misery and free them from it.
What an indescribable abundance of grace is therefore always at your disposal when I promise you My help if you desire it .... And it is only necessary that you believe and ask .... I will not leave you, because I know about all suffering on earth and am ready to help where you faithfully desire it. Only and exclusively you create everything difficult for yourselves; if you are far away from Me in your heart, I have to direct your thoughts to Me, and that through adversity and suffering. But if you carry Me in your heart, you are also safe at My heart, and what is then still imposed on you to carry, serves only for your own salvation. ....
One day you will know how grateful I am when you realize why this was granted to you. .... But on earth you do not grasp it and should therefore only take the small cross upon yourselves without grumbling and complaining and bear it humbly for My sake. The body passes away and with it, earthly pain .... But you should worry about your soul, whose suffering is far greater, so that the body is spared suffering on earth. I love all My little children and do not want them to suffer eternally, but this would be your fate if I would keep earthly suffering away from you, which is truly not the hardest thing to bear. And if I promise you My presence, then trust Me and do not become fainthearted. He who imposes suffering on you, can also take it away from you - and He will truly not let you call in vain if you ask Him from the bottom of your heart ....
Amen
