Instead of trying to fight your fears, concentrate on trusting Me.

Although you cannot see Me, My Presence with you is rock-solid reality. Find hope in Me, beloved, for I am taking care of you. Focus on enjoying Me and all that I am to you—even though your circumstances scream for resolution. Refuse to obsess about your problems and how you are going to fix them. Instead, affirm your trust in Me; wait hopefully in My Presence, and watch to see what I will do.

Hide yourself in Me wherever you feel the darkness encroaching.

It is not so much adverse events that make you anxious as it is your thoughts about those events. Your mind engages in efforts to take control of a situation, to bring about the result you desire.

If I do lead you up the cliffs, I will equip you thoroughly for that strenuous climb. I will even give My angels charge over you, to preserve you in all your ways. Keep your mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence.

Even when you are feeling anxious, thank Me for the gift of My Peace.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
