Be all you can, My child, just as I have made you.
Do not compare yourself with others, for I have formed them for other tasks. Do not ask how far you have come, or how far you have to go, but simply look to Me, for then I will draw you.
I have placed you, My special one, where you need to be now, and I will move you, when the time comes, to where I have planned.
Grow and blossom, My fair one, where I have planted you, but wear the world loosely, clinging only to Me, so that when I transplant you, the time of change will be no more than the change of weather.
Times of sorrow come to everyone, so find your happiness in the hope I give you. Seasons of trouble come upon the world, My precious one, so remain patient and endure in the work I give you.
The world system conquers all that it owns, My called-out one, but you are no longer of the world and your prayers have power with Me. Be instant in prayer and persistent in petition to Me for others, for I choose to work through you to reach those who hunger and thirst but are still held captive.
Do not let up, do not cease to pray, do not doubt that I hear and answer. Whisper a prayer for comfort over the one I point out to you as you pass in the marketplace, ask Me to minister to the one I highlight in your heart, write encouragement to the one who I have brought to your thoughts, and speak My love and mercy to one I bring to your door.
Those who are crossing Kidron need to know that, just like you, just like David, just like Jesus, there is victory afterwards, and they will be able to drink the clear water with joy from the well of salvation.

May you love the faithful promises of God and the righteous statutes He has laid down, for they have been thoroughly tested and and are fully trustworthy; even though the enemy ignores the Word of the Lord, God is righteous and His laws are right. Psalm 119

May you not forget God's precepts though trouble and distress come upon you, for His righteousness is everlasting, His law is eternally true, and His statutes are forever right; though you feel lowly in your own sight and despised by the enemy, it is because you delight in the Lord's commands that He will give you understanding which will make you prosper. Psalm 119

May you rise before dawn and call out for help with all your heart to the Lord as you obey His decrees and keep His statutes, putting your hope in His word, for He will answer you and save you from your distress. Psalm 119
