    Psalm 61:14; 62:1-2, 5-7, 11-12

    Your soul will always find its rest in Me. I don't pressure you, cajole you, make demands of you; I will never injure you. In Me alone will you discover the sweetest solace. In Me you have complete acceptance and understanding. You have a solid place to stand.

    The world around you may tremble with confusion and roar with fury, but I am your rock. Here, with Me, you will not be broken apart or shaken. I have made many promises to you, and of this you may be sure: I am strong, powerful enough to be your strength. And you may be sure, also, that I love you. I will always love you. I am your strong tower, I am your Beloved, and your friend.

    Come now, and experience the peace your soul longs for; take shelter in My wings; take consolation in My love.
