“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you” (Isa. 43:2 NLT).

Do not fret about the year ahead. Yes, the darkness is growing and yes, the turmoil in the nations is growing. These things must be for My glory to be seen. There is coming such a tsunami of hate over the world that it will be only My people who will stand, who will survive to shine My love.

“For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you” (Isa. 60:2 NKJV).

This is why such preparation is necessary; such difficulties that appear insurmountable, but in Me they are molehills. As you fix your eyes on Me and Me alone, these problems and difficulties and traumas will assume their proper place, which is under My Lordship. Nothing is out of My sight.

Remember I am omnipresent (Jer. 23:24)
I see, I know, I am.
Not one thing escapes My notice.
Remember every hair on your head is counted.
I know every star by name (Ps. 147:4).

If I know every tiny bird that falls, I surely know you by name and watch over you continually. “Are not two little sparrows sold for a copper coin? And yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered [for the Father is sovereign and has complete knowledge]. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows” (Matt. 10:29-31 AMP).

Do not think because you have not seen My intervention that I am not right there with you. I said I will never leave or forsake you (Heb. 13:5). That is My word which is truth, for I am Truth, and My word is Truth.

So, understand this, even in the heartache, the lack of understanding, the hardships, I am with you. I do not take My hand off you or leave you alone. I always have a plan and purpose for each of you. You need only surrender to Me.
