0761 Childlike trust.... "Come unto Me, all of you...."

January 27, 1939: Book 16

Become like children and thereby also acquire the right to be led by the hand like an underage child, and your path will truly be the right one. An unknown feeling of security will make life easier for you to bear, and if you trustingly abandon yourselves to the lord and saviour, you will want for nothing. For His words are sweet: "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." If the lord Himself gives you this promise, you need only remember the lord in your suffering and He will help you bear it, for He does not forsake His children. Take heed of these words, for you are still facing a difficult time on earth, and whoever does not then trustingly surrender to the divine saviour will have to struggle unspeakably hard. The right consolation at all times is His word, which He gave to the children of earth in love, and anyone who adheres to it will be wonderfully strengthened to endure the severe suffering on earth, for His word is both strength and fortitude for the anxious heart. And do not forget the prayer.... Offer all your worries and needs to the father in heaven, so that He may send you help at the right time. Whoever finds the way to the father will not knock in vain, and his request will always be granted if it is sent up to Him with all fervour. And if everything around you should waver, then stand firm and hold on to the word of the lord that He will protect His own in all dangers of body and soul....

Amen
