Son, sometimes I withdraw from you in order to test you, so that you can see what is really in your heart. If you believe that I am your God forever and ever then I will guide you until you die. You will not need to defend yourself for I am able to save and rescue you.
Lord, help me to trust in Your power, and to be able to say, “I want to make it clear to everyone that I will never serve the gods of this world. I would be willing to die than serve or worship any god except You. For there is no other god who can rescue me like You can!”
Son, when you seek Me wholeheartedly, and faithfully carry out the work I have asked you to do, you will be successful. So be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged for there is a power far greater on your side! You have Me to help you and to fight your battles for you!
I am telling you the truth: if your faith is the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move. Nothing will be impossible. Remember, if two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, I will do it for you. When there are two or three of you gathered together; I am there.
Lord, when You withdraw from me I ask that You help me to not become proud. I do not want to be humbled by You. Your words greatly encourage me, and I will tell everyone about Your unfailing love.
