The ultimate protection against sinking during life’s storms is developing your friendship with Me. You waste a lot of time worrying about storms you can see forming along the horizon of your life. Many of the storms you anticipated veered off in another direction, never reaching you. Even though some of the storms did actually hit, often they lost much of their power by the time they got to you. But I am asking you to switch your focus from difficulties that may come your way to My Presence, which is always with you.
You will never find security by trying to anticipate all the storms that may reach you someday. Remember that I control the atmosphere of your life. Trust Me by relaxing and releasing your concerns and cares into My capable care. It saddens Me to see you obsessing about possible problems rather than bringing them to Me. When you find yourself anxiously scanning the horizon of your life, use that as a reminder to seek Me. You will not find me off in the distance. I am here right beside you!
Instead of wasting time worrying, devote your time to building your friendship with Me. Take time to talk with Me about everything that concerns you. Remember that I am holding you by your right hand. I guide you with My own counsel, based on eternal wisdom; so there’s no need to worry about the future. When the time comes, I will personally take you into Glory. For now just live near Me. My friendship is your best refuge in the storms of life.
