Turn to Me, My child, in all things. Come to Me for comfort, find in Me wisdom for the day, receive from Me the provision I have promised daily. I long to embrace you in My arms and let you find the blessings I have prepared for you.
Spend time alone in your heart with Me, My dear one, and let your thoughts become focused on Me. I have much to tell you, and you have much to learn of Me. Set aside the cares and concerns that distract you and hear Me speaking encouragement and strength into your life as I express My love for you.

Although the path is challenging because the world will place brambles and thorns in your way, the flesh will put stumbling stones and rocks on your path, and the enemy will flood the way to drag you down and mire your progress, still I am with you and will make the way for you. Turn always to Me.
