The Father says today, I am not a far-off God. I am not far off, and I am not hiding Myself. You have asked the question, "where are you, God?" Pause a moment and hear My still small voice, says the Father, for I am right here, as close as the breath of your body. I see your distress, and I see your desperation. Feel My arms of grace encircling you and giving you strength for the day and strength to endure what seems so unendurable. What the enemy means for your destruction will fall out in your favor as I move to heal and restore and reconstitute your hope and your trust in Me, even in the darkest of seasons.

The enemy that lurks in secret places is being routed before you. Your eyes will see it, for I have seen the cleanness of your hands and the innocence of your heart. I will act, and I am moving to save you from every threat and intimidation of the enemy against you. You may feel helpless, but you are not helpless. Things may look bleak, but they are not bleak. You may feel as though your world is crashing in but look again, says the Father - see the hope and life that I am bringing forth in your behalf. You are not forgotten, and I have not hidden My face from you. Even now, trouble and vexation are going, and deliverance is being manifested to restore your trust and reconstitute your testimony of My faithfulness in your life.
