If you heard God speak, wouldn't He say these words of love?

(For Power In Times When You Can't Start Over)

I know you have lost all the things you own.

I know you have lost people.

I know you have lost many ties and threads to your life.

Worst of all you cannot see how you can start over again.

So in my wisdom, grace, and love trust in me and I will help you start over again.

I will help you build upon the ashes of what you have left.

I will help you dig deep to find the firm foundation upon which all of your life now rests.

I will help you dig deep to find the firm foundation found only in my love for you.

In your mind, you can see me standing next to you.

In your mind, you can hear my encouraging words.

In your mind, you can reach out and touch the hem of my garment and find my healing power.

In me and in my love, you can see and live in a new day of spiritual prosperity.

In me and in my love, you can see others who need me and who need you to shine my light of love into their lives.

I will help you lift up others even when you cannot lift yourself.

I will help you show others the way you cannot go.

I will help you give others ways of living even when those ways now seem impossible to you.

For in me, all is not lost.

In me, you are a found sheep held in the arms of the Great Shepherd.

In me, every day is a new day of hope, trust, obedience, and living according to my will.

In me, starting over is not so difficult.

For in me, everything is new again.

Precious child of mine, I love you.
