“Be Still and know that I AM God. Are there troubles in your life? Bring them to Me. I am a Constant Presence to take your troubles. I offer you endurance and Joy in their stead. I teach you Trust in times of trouble. I can teach you how to be joyful in the midst of them, if you will only ask Me.

“The days of America are waning. The days as you know them. Those of constant strife and struggle. Glorious days lie ahead for you, oh America, if you will only put your Trust in Me. I have taught you Trust in difficult times. I shall teach you Trust in times of abundance. Abundance can be hard to carry. An easy time for eyes to stray from Me. I must teach you through troubled times to root yourselves in Me so when abundance comes, you will not turn away from Me.

“Gone shall be the days of strife. So much of the strife in your life comes, My People, because you do not stand in your Authority against evil. Your enemy will take from you all that you allow. I give you all the weapons you need to send him scampering and scattering. But wielding such weapons takes your constant vigilance and Trust in Me. If you are willing, you shall be the victor.

“A Light will shine in America. The Light of My Glory. America, My Covenant Nation, WILL fulfill her destiny before Me. For I have ordained it.

“Your enemy seeks to wear you down. Do not let him. Even as you feel down and weary, PRAISE ME. Live in Gratitude. Live in My Joy. A heart full of Gratitude toward Me is the best medicine you could ever take. It is a direct sword against your enemy, for he seeks to steal your Joy in Me. By no means let him win in this. Your enemy does not know how to feel Joy. He only seeks to steal yours and trample upon it. He seeks to fill you with pride and contempt. Complaining and disappointment. These he knows in great depths, for his own sin against Me brought them upon him. He hates your Redemption. He hates your Authority over him. He stands against all the gifts I have given you, My People. Would you unwrap a beautiful gift, then turn and give it to your enemy? Would you not cherish the gift for yourself and be grateful to the Giver? Think on this. Think of your grace and politeness to others who would sacrifice and give to you. How much greater should be your Gratitude to the Great I AM who redeemed you.

“Go about your day thanking me. Name the gifts I have given you in your life that require your Gratitude. Can you name them all? Can you ever get to the end of them? Thank Me even for times of weariness and distress. For in these times I have much to teach you, if you will only listen. If you will only remain in Gratitude to Me. If you will only let Me mold your heart. ‘Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ This is not only an invitation. It is a Command from Me. A Command that ends with a promise. For I AM always the God of PROMISE. Amen.”
