The Rat, the Bomb, and the Brave Heart: Lessons from a Fearless Rodent

🔍 The Practice of Peace

Here’s how fear loses its grip: You face it. With Me. Boldly.

Think of the worst-case scenario—not to dwell there, but to disarm it. Ask yourself:

• What would I do if this happened?
• What would God do?
• Would I survive? And if not, what then?

I’ll be in every answer. Every possibility. Every outcome.

The trick isn’t to pretend you’re invincible. It’s to remember I’m immovable. You won’t face the storm alone—I’ll face it with you.

🎯 Believe for the Best

Once you've sat with the fear and invited Me in... then lift your eyes.

Hope isn’t naïve—it’s sacred. You were created to imagine beauty, to dream of healing, to believe in goodness. That’s Me, breathing through you.

So I ask you to live wisely:

• Prepare for what might go wrong
• Believe for the most beautiful outcome 
• And rest with Me between the two—where faith breathes and fear dissolves

🕊️ Final Word: You’re Not Alone on the Bomb

Fear loses its grip when you walk into the worst-case scenario—with Me in the room.

I never said you’d avoid the valley of the shadow. I said I would lead you through it—and you would never be alone.

So go ahead. Imagine the worst, and let Me show you how you’d survive, heal, or be held. Then lift your eyes, and believe for the best. That’s not presumption—it’s hope, rooted in My goodness.

Prepare for the storm with Me. Believe for the breakthrough with Me. And sit beside Me on whatever bomb life tries to place beneath you.

I hold both outcomes. And I hold you

Tossed But Not Torn: Deliverance from the Storm

Oh, My precious child, tossed and torn, weary and bruised. I am with you, now and always, to heal your wounds and calm your storm.

 Life's storms can strike without warning, leaving you feeling lost and overwhelmed, like a ship battling raging waves in the dead of night. But even in the fiercest tempest, I am a Light that never falters. Your emotions may scream that you are about to lose everything. You may be tossed every which way until you lose your sense of direction. But I am the Lighthouse. I am the Light that shows you the way. I am with you in the storm, yet I am never tossed about. Instead, I am anchored on solid ground, unwavering, guiding you safely Home.

If you will fix your eyes on My Light, on Me, and make one small positive choice, you will reach your destination. You will find safety. You will find deliverance. For as it is written, "The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all."

The Surrender: Finding Peace in the Abyss

That gut-wrenching moment when you feel the ground giving way ... the fear of falling into the abyss. What if, instead of fighting, you simply let go?

We often perceive the abyss as a place of moral failure, sin, or utter ruin. We scramble, we claw, we exhaust ourselves trying to avoid the inevitable plunge. But what if the very thing we fear is the gateway to something profound?

I invite you to consider a radical shift: embrace the abyss. Stop the struggle. Allow yourself to fall. Discover that in the depths of that perceived darkness, you’ll find Me. Not as a judge, but as a redeemer, waiting with open arms.

This isn’t about expecting the worst, but about surrendering to the possibility. It’s about releasing the fear that holds you captive. Picture this: even in the darkest scenario, I am there, working all things for your good. By surrendering, you strip fear of its power.

In the heart of the abyss, you'll discover serenity, a profound peace born from letting go. You’ll find My unconditional acceptance, a love that transcends your perceived flaws and failures.

Take that leap of faith. Trust that I am here, waiting to catch you. In the surrender, you’ll find true rest.

So, when you feel the pull of the abyss, remember: it's not a place of destruction, but a sanctuary of surrender. Embrace the fall and discover the peace that awaits.

With love beyond measure,

Your Infant Self

Jesus might say:

Oh, my little one, you are an infant to me (Jesus). Dependent, vulnerable, needy, whether you know it or not. And I am here, your Parent. Strong, supportive, ever-watching, wholly able to care for you. If only your infant-self knew how sturdy and reliable I am, how your fears would diminish. What peace you would find. This is my Prayer for you. I hold you dear.

Love,

Denying a duty-based faith, my goal is to free people up from condemnation and burdensome rules and present a perspective of the reader's freedom and God's unconditional love and acceptance. ~ Cyndi
