1598 Faith and trust in God.... God's mission....

September 5, 1940: Book 25

The One Who gave you life will also know how to preserve it, so it is His will, and anyone who entrusts his life to the Creator of Heaven and Earth with complete faith, will not need to fear for it even if he is in greatest danger. The earthly child only has to be faithful and trust God, so the Heavenly Father is to take care of him. And the hour will come when every person will have to prove their faith and trust in God.... And this hour shall not be conjured up by human will or human activity, but it shall remind people to remember the One Who rules over the elements. And what you experience in that hour will determine your future life, for your future life will be shaped in the same way as you accept God's mission. If you turn to the Father in faithful trust, He will never leave you without protection and help, and you will remain His children until the end of your life, and one day in eternity. But if you do not find the path to Him, then your fate on earth as well as in the beyond shall be a difficult one, for if you continue your earthly life, you will have to struggle in order to attain spiritual realisation, so the hour of such an experience did not enlighten your spirit. For then you will determine your own state in the beyond. Spiritual adversity, however, requires divine intervention, and this is by no means arbitrary, but people can avert the severe consequences from themselves, if they seek heartfelt contact with God. The surrender of one's own will allows divine will to become effective, and divine will protects the earthly child from destruction, it secures the life of the soul and also of the body, if such is still necessary for the soul. Having handed your life over to the Lord of Heaven and Earth will remove all anxiety from you, you know that your life lies in God's hands and accept now what He sends to you.... And it will truly be the best for you, for God knows His children, and He considers them according to the state of their soul. Thus the human being will also have to suffer according to his state of soul, if his will does not find its way to God in any other way.... Amen
