Life will not ask of you anything that My love, My Word and My presence in your life cannot and has not already given you the answers for. All you have to do is find them, study them, remember them and then apply them and the tests will not seem so hard.
Stay by Me

IF YOU HAVE TO FIGHT A REAL BIG BATTLE TO GET THE VICTORY, THE LORD WILL GIVE YOU A LOT MORE CREDIT, A LOT MORE REWARD. If you have a real tough battle & struggle to get the victory, it's probably because the Lord's testing you to find out how much you WANT it, & how much you're willing to FIGHT for it before He's going to reward you with it. But if you do YOUR part, the Lord will certainly do His, & you WILL win!--So don't give up! PTL!

"Lord, please RID me of any doubts or fears or resentments or hurts about the past, or even about things that are happening right now, & give me faith to just let it ALL go into YOUR care.--To cast ALL my cares upon YOU because You care for ME! ( 1Pet.5:7 )
Help me, Jesus, just to be a YIELDED vessel & not try to be the clay saying to the Potter, "Why hast Thou made me thus?" or "Why have You done this to me & treated me this way & allowed this thing to happen that I resent!"--Or "Why are You doing these things to me right NOW?" Please help me to just be YIELDED, a yielded broken vessel, Lord, one that's willing to do ANYTHING for You!
Forgive me & help me to trust You more. YOU know best about all these things, & You're going to have Your way & it's ALL going to work out for the BEST in the long run for me, because I love You.
AND HELP ME, LORD, NOT TO FIGHT NOR RESIST WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO USE TO BREAK ME & HUMBLE ME & DRAW & KEEP ME CLOSE TO YOU. I know, Lord, that You know what's best for me, even if it doesn't always SEEM best for me, Lord! You just want to see if I'm willing to TRUST You & BELIEVE You & believe that "ALL things truly do work together for good to them that love Thee"!-- Rom.8:28
AND LORD, PLEASE RENEW ME WITH YOUR WONDERFUL SPIRIT OF LOVE! Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, that I may have a heart full of Your Love. Your Word says, "Above all things have fervent LOVE one toward another."-- 1Pet.4:8 . Please help me not to condemn or judge others in pride or self-righteousness.
PLEASE GIVE ME MORE OF YOUR LOVE, YOUR PATIENCE, YOUR HUMILITY, which is synonymous with love--littleness in my own eyes. Give me sweetness & love for others. Help me to mete unto OTHER men's bosoms as I want YOU to mete unto ME. Help me to truly FORGIVE other men's sins as You have forgiven me, to have mercy upon others as You have had mercy upon me."

All My children have weaknesses which I have given them to help keep them close to Me. Some have obvious weaknesses, and for them it is very important to keep Me as the center focal point of their lives and remember that the physical talents and abilities are not the most important things, but rather their closeness to Me, their love for Me and for others. These are spiritual qualities which, even though they be weaker physically or less gifted in the natural, they can possess in great abundance.
There are others who seem to be much stronger in the physical or much more naturally talented, but these have the handicap of natural ability and must stay very desperate with Me so that they are not tempted to run in their own strength, according to their own pride or their own understanding. They also have weaknesses, and these weaknesses and natural tendencies of thinking they know what to do should also keep them very close to Me and remembering that it is the spirit which is most important and which will bear the most fruit--not what they accomplish in the flesh. (End of message from Jesus.)
