My child,
You asked me today for my best for you. I have given it. I am standing beside you in the chaos to encourage and comfort you. No, I did not take away the chaos. I did not calm the raging storm. I did not show you the future to keep you from feeling like you are groping in the dark. Rather I am standing beside you. Perhaps there would be some benefit from me calming the storm or answering your questions and at the right time I will do that. However, today what you need most is my presence. I know you struggle to lean on me in the midst of the storm and patience comes hard for you. Allow me to stand beside you. Allow me to comfort you even when you do not know the outcome. Allow our walk together to be sweetened by the chaos of the storm blowing around you. That is my best for you today and will allow you to face both good days and more storms for many years to come.
Standing beside you, I AM
