My child, do not let your faith waver. You have believed in Me in the past; believe in Me today, for I have not changed.

The chaos may rage around you, but I am protecting you under My covering hand.
Do not turn from Me at the time of your greatest need, but cling ever more tightly to the promises I have given you. Though all others forsake you, and your closest ones turn from you, I will never leave or abandon you, My love, for I am your most faithful friend, abiding closer than a brother, and making a way when there seems to be no way.
Receive the hope of My appearing, for though the dawn seems long in arriving, I will arise in magnificent splendor as the clouds break apart and you will see My glory in your life as I receive you into My rest. You are mine, and I will never let go of your hand.
