Walking In Dependence

Psalm 71

Keep on walking in dependence on Me, dear one. You are so aware of your need for Me just now...your level of need for Me does not change, only your awareness of it! You actually always need  Me as desperately as you know you do right now. 

In times of smooth sailing, when everything is going well for My children, they often tend to lose sight of their desperate need for Me. While unpleasant, the trials you are going through have opened your eyes to your absolute need for dependence on Me. 

Keep building life habits during this time that will be well-established by the next time you enter calm waters. It will be your challenge then to stay as aware of your need, and to keep walking with your eyes fixed on Me, as if your life depended on it...because it does! 

The victorious life requires on-going absolute dependence on Me! It is just not possible to live victoriously in "D.I.Y mode". Your own strength and your flesh will fail you, but I AM the strength of your heart and your portion FOREVER! 

Each time you make the choice to enter My Presence, you are strengthening connections in your brain that are actually beginning to change the way that you think. You are being transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). When you choose to respond to a challenging situation by leaning in to My Presence rather than by relying on your own "understanding", you are renewing your mind - weakening the strong bias for "D.I.Y. mode" and strengthening the connection with Me. It is actually happening right now! Celebrate with Me, dear one!
