4388 Heartfelt prayer.... God's help....

July 28, 1948: Book 51

Always rely on My help if you are in spiritual or earthly need; I am always ready when you call Me. And stay with the thought that I prepare you for the time of your activity for Me. This thought will be an explanation for you in all situations of life, for great demands will be placed on you which you can only fulfil with My help and therefore you must always seek contact with Me.... And you must learn to always turn your thoughts towards Me, even though you are moving in the hustle and bustle of the world, when you are approached by incentives of all kinds or hardship and oppression. You must learn to concentrate so that your soul can lift itself up into the spiritual kingdom for a short time in order to fetch strength again and again. You must learn to say a short heartfelt prayer at any time which, rising from your heart, will always reach My ears. The earthly world must never become stronger than the spiritual kingdom, you must educate yourselves to this if you want to consciously serve Me and be active for Me. For this reason you will also be confronted by temptations of all kinds which you must withstand, which must not push you away from Me. With Me you will be able to cope with everything, but without Me the world will tie you to itself again and you will succumb to it. But anyone who commends himself to Me at all times need not fear becoming a victim of the world, for I hold My protective fatherly hand over him and every temptation will only serve to strengthen his will. But again and again I admonish you through My word to seek refuge with Me and in the spiritual kingdom, where you will always be granted help in earthly and spiritual adversity if only you believe, for I will not leave My servants on earth in adversity....

Amen
