My story is made up of many love letters written from my heart to God’s heart and from His to mine. I open up to Him with a pen in my hand and a journal in my lap. The Lord speaks to me through my writings and I am beyond excited to share with you bits and pieces of different letters I have from God. I share parts of my story so that God’s love, power, grace, forgiveness, so His perfectness may be showcased. As you read I pray the Lord grabs a hold of your heart and fills you with hope!
Do not let your hearts be troubled;
trust in God, trust in God alone.
John 14:1
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for teaching me through afflictions I face in this life. I know with every storm, drought, and sometimes tornado in my life there will always be an ending in which I am closer to You. You teach me something through each storm. When I am in the desert, I am learning. When I am getting swirled around by this world’s vicious schemes, You are there holding me down; You will not let me get swept away in the tornado! And for that Lord, I praise You. There is one thing I struggle with sometimes, Trust. That word scares me, BIG time. I really want to trust You. I do not know if I currently trust You. How do I know? Teach me Lord, during this waiting period in my life to trust You; please and thank You!
Love, me
Dear Precious Daughter of Mine,
Oh how I am smiling down on you to hear you praising Me through the many storms of your life. If there is one thing I want you to know through any affliction you face in this life, it is that I am right beside you the entire time. I never let go of your hand. Praising Me in your storm is a wonderful sign of the trust that you have for Me; as your Protector, Savior, Healer, and most Powerful Being in your life. It is not enough to say that you trust Me, you must act out the trust you desire to have for Me in your heart. Trusting Me is learned through dependence on Me. Trust comes when you wake up each morning, and empty out all of your desires, dreams, worries, stresses, sins, and burdens into Me. It is best to trust everything in My hands. Trust My hands that in return, I will give you My peace, comfort, love and blessings. I promise you that when My timing is right I will give you everything you need as you need it according to My perfect will for you. You will never not struggle with trust, because every day will bring something new that you will once again have to hand over to Me. I wait patiently for you to surrender all to Me. I desire to show you just how trustworthy I am. Do not doubt your trust; just keep on surrendering and depending on Me every moment of every day of your entire life!
Love Always and Forever, Your Trustworthy Father
Trustworthy Father,
Thank You for helping me learn how to really trust in You alone! I do not want to just say I trust You I want to act it out too. I am glad that trust is not a one and done type of deal. Trust is something that will be a continuous effort in my life. Every day as I grow closer to You, I grow in trust as well. Thank You Jesus that I can trust my heart and all of me, with You! I am excited to see where this journey of trusting You leads me.
Love, Diane

Questions for Reflection:
- TRUST a small five letter word that can be a BIG problem for us sometimes. Think about what areas of your life you are not trusting with God. Ask God to help you turn over these areas to Him alone!
- Meditate on Psalm 62:5-8
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him.
Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
God is waiting patiently for you to pour out your heart to Him!
