4450 Struggle for strong faith....

October 4, 1948: Book 52

The struggle for profound unshakeable faith must not diminish, otherwise there is a danger that the concern for physical well-being will outweigh the spiritual concern and the human being will become weak in every respect. Deep faith alone gives strength, faith is the guarantee of all success, faith gives peace and tranquillity of heart, and all worries disappear if the person has strong faith. A person's own strength is not sufficient to cope with the demands placed on him but only the strength of faith, for this is divine strength, it flows over to the person who presents all his needs to Me in profound faith so that I will help him. Firm faith that I will help him to master his earthly life also secures him the strength which is necessary to overcome earthly demands. But if faith is weak then the human being becomes anxious, he only focuses all his attention on his earthly activity, he becomes lukewarm in his spiritual striving and does not progress, but this alone is important in earthly life. A firm faith is trust in Me.... You must not lack this, for anyone who has no faith in Me does not believe in My love and My omnipotence either, thus he does not believe in a perfect being which is united with you in profound love. Strive for strong faith, don't cease to pray, to imagine that I belong together with My living creations forever, that you, who have emerged from Me, are constantly cared for and looked after and that I don't want to leave you in adversity if you feel yourselves to be My children and now also come to the father as a child and appeal to Him for help. First of all I want your trust in Me, your faith that I can and will help you.... If you have this faith you will already be helped, for I will never let a strong faith go to waste. Connect with Me in spirit, speak to Me and expect My help.... and it will become yours....

Amen
