0951 Life is a struggle.... father words.... doubt....

June 7, 1939: Book 18

In order to constantly find the connection with the divine lord and saviour, it is enough to become absorbed in calling upon His name, and every other thought will disappear from the heart. To walk the path to eternal life certainly requires self-conquest and therefore also great love for the lord.... (7.6.1939) Life is a struggle and those who are strong will emerge victorious from this struggle. However, no one can do this on his own, he must constantly beg God’s help.... he must constantly long for grace from above, but then he will be able to resist all temptations and be strong and invincible.... The spiritual wall you erect for yourselves through too weak faith is a difficult obstacle to overcome.... Every doubt piles up anew, and the light finds it difficult to penetrate through this self-made wall. The stones must be tirelessly removed so that the obstacle will be removed, and this only happens through heartfelt prayer to the heavenly father.... Because prayer proves faith and must now be opposed to doubt or weak faith, only in this way can man strengthen himself in such a way that it is easy for him to remove the obstacle. Only the will must not weaken and the connection with the father must remain established, and thus the father sends His word to you today to strengthen your faith:

Blessed are those who long for Me.... The hour will come when My nearness will bring them clarity. Hearing the living word silences all doubts, and in the night of unbelief a star always shines which points to the light. Therefore grasp what I say to you: I desire you, for you were Mine from eternity.... I send you My messengers to fetch you home into the father’s house, and I give you food and drink so that the path will not be too burdensome for you.... And My love is your constant companion.... Therefore walk steadfastly on the path that leads towards Me. I await you and stand by you in all hardships, but you must never look back or become fickle. Only ever look forward, towards the light, and if your soul is blinded and the path seems dark to you, then only stretch out your hands longingly so that I may take hold of them and guide you through the darkness again onto the sunny path which only ever leads to Me. Behold, I stand at the end of the path.... covered it of your own accord, so that you are close to Me, then you have overcome.... But the clouds which still shadow your path from time to time you form for yourself, you do not see Me behind those clouds, which are only the doubting thoughts in your heart. Chase them away, for they must obey your will.... and radiant brightness will shine for you again and lead you towards Me. And remember My everlasting care for My children.... I leave none in need of soul and yet know about their worries at all times. Therefore do not be afraid and seek Me, and I will let Myself be found by you....

Amen
