2005 the Lord gave me a new song for a friend that was in a hard trial. The words are timeless. Here it is in part: Close To Me. Come My child. Take My hand as we walk into this trial. Do not be afraid, only trust Me step by step. I will show you things you could not know before. I’ve prepared your heart for this journey sore…

It ends this way. The trial won’t last forever. It will be over when My purpose is complete. Until then trust Me and rest in My arms as I carry you close to Me.

Psalm 57:1 are David’s timeless words from his trial. “Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by.” The Lord is always Present and He remains close.
