It is written, “Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14)

My beloved, I am with you now and always. In this world, you will have troubles, but fear not! I have overcome this world.

Think of yourself like a warrior going to battle. Remember how much you loved Joan of Arc? Do you think she was without persecution? Even I, my Son Jesus Christ, God of all creation, was persecuted in and by this world. The world doesn’t like you because you’re not from this world. You can even rejoice in this, because you are not like them either.

It’s my strength, that strengthens you. My arms that comfort you. My will that is done through you. Do not let your heart grow weary! Have I not told you that these things would come to pass?

When you feel as though you’re not strong enough to endure, remember that I am. Remember all that we have been through together. Have I not proven my faithfulness? Have I not proven that my will is good? Have I not shown you that my promises are pure? That I can, and do, turn ALL things to good for those who are called according to my purpose?

You say you are ready, then put on your armor.
