“Come out!  Come out onto the water with Me!  There is nothing to fear.  Come deep into what I have called you into and trust Me to carry you through the storms and the waves.  I will not take you out, but I will bring you through.  I am refining your character and you will come out as pure gold.  You will be stronger for having gone through the process and you will know Me better, deeper, more intimately as you lean on Me and trust My wisdom.  Don’t listen to those who would call you a fool for trusting Me.  Keep your eyes on Me.  For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says The Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.  I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, says The Lord, Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty.  I see the beginning and the end.  I know how to walk My children through their situations and circumstances.  How do I see the beginning and the end?  How do I see what will happen in your situation before it happens?  How do I know the choices people will make?  I am not relegated to time.  I am Spirit.  Ask of Me and I will give you wisdom and discernment and show you how to navigate your situations.  Trust Me and even when you look foolish, people will see that you were right to trust Me.  Yes, you do know My voice.  Follow Me and I will walk you through the storms.”
