7949 The father takes over all the worries....

July 25, 1961: Book 83

Trust in My help in every earthly and spiritual adversity and only turn to Me, your father of eternity, with all your concerns, Who is always willing to help His children and Whom you will never call upon in vain.... if only you fully trust Me. All earthly events approach you in such a way as to be helpful for your ascent development.... And even if it seems to you as if you get into adversity and distress.... you yourselves can avert these from you if only you faithfully adhere to Me, if you ask Me to take all worries upon Myself.... and I will do so, for the father wants to win His child's love and will therefore only ever give it love.... Every spiritually-directed thought also guarantees you My help, for I have given you the promise: “Seek first the kingdom of God.... everything else will be added to you...." And if you now give priority to the maturing of your soul, if you turn your thoughts towards Me and the spiritual kingdom, earthly hardship will not affect you so much because I Myself will take it away from you. My promise will come true, of that you can be certain.... I demand of you that you pay more attention to your soul than to your body.... I require you to seek contact with Me and My kingdom, and then I will take over the worries which burden you earthly, I will always regulate everything in such a way that it will benefit you. But you must trust Me, you must not allow yourselves to be depressed by earthly hardship, you must only surrender everything to Me, and truly, you will be able to praise yourselves happily, for no-one can take care of you better than I can, because I know everything you need and because I also want to bestow gifts upon you who serve Me, who are willing to be called My own.... you who think of Me and carry Me in your heart. To whom else should My promise apply if not to you who have the will to live for My pleasure? And so, if you have a concern, be it earthly or spiritual, trustingly come to Me and present it to Me.... And truly, I will consider you according to your requests, for nothing is impossible for Me and My love for you is exceedingly great.... Yet also reckon that great changes will soon take place which are indispensable for the sake of all humanity. Yet even then I will guide My own through it and you will experience My power as well as My love, which will be clearly recognizable in My own.... For they will have what they need and My strength will flow to them so that they will not feel anything too heavy, even if they are affected by strokes of fate.... They will always feel My nearness and in firm faith hand themselves over to Me, and they will always be guided out of every adversity. Just make sure that your faith strengthens, join Me ever more intimately and have a silent dialogue with Me, and you will draw much strength from it and then also do nothing without Me, you will always let Me be with you, you will secure My presence for yourselves through heartfelt prayer and activity of love. And in this heartfelt bond you will also trustingly present everything to Me which is troubling you and be certain that I will take all worries from you, that I will take care of you and can truly do this better than an earthly father takes care of his children. And in order to test you and your faith you will also be confronted by worries and hardship again and again; yet since you know the path you need only walk it.... you need only call upon Me in spirit and in truth.... and truly, I will answer your prayer....

Amen
