Over time, I’ve carved out a sacred space where I can retreat to sit quietly in His presence. As dawn broke and the world around me stirred this morning, I felt a gentle tug to return to that sanctuary. There are days when words escape me, leaving me unsure of what to say. Yet, today felt different—it was my turn to listen, and in that stillness, my Father spoke to my heart.

I asked Him who I was, and slowly, gently, He revealed it to me—day by day, piece by piece, like a beautiful tapestry unfolding. I inquired how to reach the vision You’ve placed in my heart. He answered, “Follow My Word; read it, apply it to your life each day.”

“Ask Me for help, for I cannot operate outside of My Word. If you do this, you will see that I always keep My promises, for My Word never returns void.” (Isaiah 55:11)
Dive into the stories of those I chose—unlikely heroes filled with fear and self-doubt. It’s normal to feel such things. Yet, in obeying My commands, you will witness the miraculous unfold in your life. Plant the seeds of faith and do the work; do not worry about the "how"—I will take care of that.

“Never doubt Me, but if you do, remember, I am forgiving, ready to embrace your repentance.” (1 John 1:9) I understand you are human, that fear and flaw are part of your journey. I have calculated every moment into your destiny, for I knew the end before the beginning; I knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. (Jeremiah 1:5)
You may wish to walk this path without opposition, but I promise to be with you through it all. When confusion surrounds you, run to Me, and I will grant you wisdom. When weariness sets in, I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

Look back over your life and see the wonders I have performed. Every promise I’ve made has been fulfilled; those that remain may be met with a “not right now” or “no,” for I have something better in store for you. (Romans 8:28)

You can always sit in My presence, and when words fail you, it’s okay—I know the depths of your heart. There’s no perfect way to seek Me; just do it with all your might, and I will give you more than you have ever dreamed. (Ephesians 3:20)
Follow Me, and you will find forever and always. I have a plan—just trust Me. I love you. (Jeremiah 29:11)

This is the exact season I am in and I cannot agree more. I have been pulled of the darkness more than a few times very recently. I can count on both hands how many times before then I have been taken out of the darkness in the past year alone. I cannot give Him praise enough. It would literally take all of my life, and I am completely fine with that. He has not forgotten about you. He will not take his hands off of you. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. This is only the beginning. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed for him to come and find His…
