4303 Presence of God....

May 17, 1948: Book 51

I am present to you whenever you speak to Me in prayer or in thought.... This therefore presupposes that I know every person's thoughts and feelings, that I hear every sigh, every call and childlike plea. Thus I also know about the soul's every adversity, about its earthly and spiritual state, I know about every possibility to help it and know all ways which lead out of the adversity, but I also know how often people's thoughts go astray and how necessary the adversity is in order to help the soul. You only have a short earthly path to cover, then every adversity will come to an end for people who want to remain faithful to Me, who adhere to Me and are united with Me through their will. But I want to help you achieve eternal peace, I want you to be free from every oppression, I want you to be able to develop all your strength in order to reward you for your loyalty on earth, I want to reward you for your services which you are willing to render Me. And therefore the last time is still connected with hardship and suffering for you, so that your souls will still be completely purified and be able to receive light in all fullness. I know about every person's adversity, for I am constantly close to you as soon as you include Me in your thoughts. I am always present to you.... You must always live in this certainty and you will more easily endure everything which seems almost unbearable to you without this awareness. I am present to you.... I accompany you everywhere, I direct your steps, I influence your thoughts, I speak to you through the voice of the spirit, I live with you and My love is always and constantly meant for you, which is why I will never leave you but always be present to you. And even if the world oppresses you, even if your thoughts are taken up by it, you will always return to Me, you will seek Me the more intimately the more the world wants to dominate you. Believe in My presence and always feel safe, protected and cared for by Me, even if you have to suffer, for only My love for you will let you suffer, otherwise you truly would not be able to find Me but I long for your return because I am your father and you are My children whose love I want to possess forever. If you believe in My presence nothing will truly oppress you anymore, for then you may pass all burdens on to Me, I will help you carry them and gladly take your burden upon Myself if your love for Me is inflamed and you hand yourselves over to Me, if you entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for help. For I am always close to you, you are never alone.... Remain aware of My presence and your faith will increase, your love will deepen and your prayer to Me will be so heartfelt that I will hear it at all times....

Amen
