Find Me in this desert season. The restlessness that you feel is not only pruning, but it’s also an invitation to come closer to Me. You can have as much of Me as your heart desires. I long to give lavishly to My child; I am not withholding myself from you. Everything aside from Me and My presence will leave you empty and dry. Do not let your joy be dependent on things being ‘fixed’ or based on circumstances. You will have perfection in Heaven, but even here among imperfection of this fallen world you can experience My perfect peace. This will happen if you choose to remain in Me and abide in Me. Do not despise your weakness or the restlessness you feel; I am drawing you near, My child, to experience more of My presence. Drink of Me, the living water, and you will thirst no more! The world and the things of it can not eternally satisfy you; they will leave you dry. Only I can truly satisfy you. Come to Me; lean into Me. I love you, and I am drawing you near.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

2 Corinthians 12:9
