6458 Let God always be present to you....

January 23, 1956: Book 69

Carry all your concerns to Me and full of trust you can expect My help.... In times of earthly adversity you should remember these words so that they don't depress you and make you unable to meet all the demands life places on you as well as to cope with spiritual work. As soon as you have handed everything over to Me in trust in My help, I will also take over your worries, and I will truly not let you ask in vain. Once you have achieved this strength of faith to submit every adversity and worry to Me and then let Me take care of you, nothing will frighten you anymore, no matter what happens to people, for your confidence in My help will not make anything seem so difficult that you will be afraid.... And such faith will be necessary in the time to come. Although I will always protect My own, not everything can pass them by without touching them, yet it can be mitigated or completely overcome by them themselves if they immediately think of Me and entrust their hardship and thoughts to Me Myself. And I want to make you all always feel Me close to you because then you will be relieved of all adversity. I am with you whenever you turn your thoughts towards Me. And therefore no event on earth shall influence you such that you exclude Me from your thoughts.... This is what you must practice, what you must never forget, that you yourselves secure My presence through your constant contact with Me.... And if I am present to you then nothing more can happen to you, then nothing more can burden you, for I Myself carry your burden because you hand it over to Me. The coming time will make great demands on you, spiritually as well as earthly, for every earthly burden can only be overcome by spiritual means if you humans don't want to hand yourselves over to the one who certainly wants to give you earthly strength but then demands your soul in return. And the temptation is great if you are not aware of this and remain so, that you will then only enjoy a pleasurable life for a short time and then lose everything.... Only the clear realization that you humans are all close to the end can still save you by not succumbing to those temptations but by sincerely joining Me and appealing to Me for help.... and although I will not give you what My adversary offers you, your earthly life will nevertheless be bearable for you, and your strength will increase, and with a bright spirit you will only recognize everything as harbingers of the end, and you will endure in faith in Me and My coming when the time is fulfilled....

Amen
