I'm so much bigger than you think! Oh, how easy you give in to worry and stress! Your problems and concerns grow and loom over you like a mountain. Haven't I said to say "Grace, grace to the mountain?" For I have a solution to every problem and situation that you face. Problems are only opportunities for Me to show Myself strong on your behalf.
Do not the oceans start and begin where I say? Do they not roar when I tell them to? There is not one thing that operates in your world without My consent. I rule over all. Therefore, stop and consider Me above your circumstances. For the One who calms the seas can calm your storm as well.
Follow Paul's example. When you are in the prison of your mind and see no way out, lift up your voice and praise me. I still inhabit the praises of My people, and I will surely show up to bring perspective to your situation. Whether I rescue you or not is not the primary issue. Who or what you bow to is. Will you bow to Me or bow to the storm?
Allow Me into your circumstances and watch Me turn your mourning into dancing. For surely I am singing and rejoicing over you. I am releasing songs of deliverance to part the clouds of despair. So rejoice, My beloved, for I will never leave you or forsake you, no matter what depths you have fallen to.
Psalm 89:8-9 The Passion Translation (TPT)
8 So awesome are you, O Yahweh, Lord God of Angel Armies! Where could we find anyone as glorious as you? Your faithfulness shines all around you!
9 You rule over oceans and the swelling seas. When their stormy waves rise, you speak, and they lie still.
Psalm 18:2-6 The Passion Translation (TPT)
2 You’re as real to me as bedrock beneath my feet, like a castle on a cliff, my forever firm fortress, my mountain of hiding, my pathway of escape, my tower of rescue where none can reach me. My secret strength and shield around me, you are salvation’s ray of brightness shining on the hillside, always the champion of my cause.
3 All I need to do is to call to you, singing to you, the praiseworthy God. When I do, I’m safe and sound in you.
4–5 For when the ropes of death wrapped around me and terrifying torrents of destruction overwhelmed me, taking me to death’s door, to doom’s domain,
6 I cried out to you in my distress, the delivering God, and from your temple-throne you heard my troubled cry. My sobs came right into your heart and you turned your face to rescue me.
Psalm 32:7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Lord, you are my secret hiding place, protecting me from these troubles, surrounding me with songs of gladness! Your joyous shouts of rescue release my breakthrough.
