Comfort, Comfort my people, says your God. Isaiah 40:1

We are studying Isaiah 40:12-31 this week in BSF. For verses 21-26, one of the questions we were asked was; which phrases or thoughts for Isaiah's instruction encourage you to look to God in life's challenges? Why?
I chose "...and calls them each by name." I started to explain why, I said things like God knows me, He created me, by His power and mighty strength he will keep me. I found myself writing a little note to myself from God. That inspired me to write this:

Dear child,
I know you are struggling right now;
Its ok, I've got you,
You can let go.
I will not let you fall.
I know your heart
And I understand.
Run into my arms;
There is freedom waiting for you.
Take comfort in the strength you find there.
I know sometimes you feel so alone,
And I know you know that's just not true.
I am always there when you need me.
I will never let you down - you can trust me.
Take peace with who you are.
You're exactly how I created you to be.
Feed on my word - it will satisfy your hunger.

Love,
Your Heavenly Father.
