MY POWER FLOWS MOST FREELY INTO Weak Ones Aware of Their Need For Me. Faltering steps of dependence are not lack of faith, they are links to My Presence.
Dear Jesus, Our journey is indeed one of faltering steps. Today we feel as if it's a challenge just to take the next step. We find it all too easy to be aware of our neediness. If we didn't know You were with us, we would despair. We confess that we sometimes get discouraged about our ongoing weaknesses. We know that dependence on You brings spiritual blessings, yet at times we feel trapped by our limitations. Amen.
Beloved, awareness of your need for Me creates a strong connection to My Presence. My Power flows into you continually. It gives you strength to take the next faltering step, strength to resist discouragement and despair, strength to know Me in intimate dependence. Only My Power can provide such strength, enabling you to live abundantly in the midst of your limitations. Your day-to-day perseverance, in dependence on Me, is every bit as supernatural as an outright miracle.
Because you are My beloved child, I choose to bless you. However, I bless you in ways that are unique to your needs and My design for you. Your difficulties do not signify lack of faith or lack of blessing. They are means to help you stay on the path I have chosen for you. Though the way before you may be steep and rocky, it is nonetheless the path of Life. It is where you encounter My luminous Presence - radiating Peace that transcends your limitations.
- Jesus

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights"
