3552 God's guidance and assistance....

September 18, 1945: Book 45

Thus rely entirely on the guidance of your father in heaven and only strive to fulfil His will.... Always remember that your path of life is prescribed for you and that you have to travel it according to God's will, but that you can also make suffering and adversity bearable for yourselves as long as you don't lose contact with God, for then they will only touch you dimly, the suffering will not depress you but only strengthen you and make you resilient for the tribulation which the last days will bring. It is only a short battle that you still have to endure, but it requires all your strength.... And you will also fight it out victoriously if you always rely on the heavenly father's help. For He is with everyone who desires His nearness. Draw strength from this certainty and don't be afraid, no matter what may come.... under His protection you are well protected, no matter how dangerous your situation may appear on the outside. For you have His word, and thus you lie down at the source of strength and may draw as much as you desire to strengthen and refresh yourselves.... It is His will that you shall be fed and watered if you hunger and thirst, and therefore He has opened up the source for you, the spring, from which living water flows forth unstoppably, the enjoyment of which protects you from falling prey to eternal death. And if you strive to gain eternal life you need never worry about the preservation of earthly life, about your fate and about earthly events, for God arranges all this for your benefit according to His wise discretion, He Himself guides you by the hand and also instructs His heavenly messengers to look after you spiritually and earthly. And so cover your earthly path without worry, believe and trust and fear nothing that seems insurmountable to you.... You will master life with God's help, for He will not forsake you for ever....

Amen
