Isaiah 22-24; Heb 12

“Dear child of my father, dearly beloved. I only want the very best for you so there will be times when you will feel alone and troubled. But do not pull back in fear. I am standing with you. I need you to find your confidence, not in yourself, but in me. It is in those times of need when you truly need me that you will discover that I am but a breath away. This is how I discipline those that I love. Persevere, hold on to what is faithful and true. Soon you will be with me forever and your rest from trouble and strife will be your rightful inheritance.”
