What a chapel you have found, out beneath the open sky, where the only roof is the heaven and the only wall the wind! Do not despise the courtyard where no WiFi reaches. The studious man once thought himself safe from all accidents within his locked study, yet we know the calm often conceals the peril. You have not been driven into the cold air by a mere accident; you have been summoned there that you might pray, and praying, prove the promise anew: He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings shall you trust.
You speak of a transition that shook your spirit, yet you cling to a sound mind. That is well. The enemy is baffled most when he strikes in the darkness and finds the soul still singing. When Job received the blows and yet charged not God foolishly, the arch-enemy fled confounded. So it shall be with you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, not because the weapon will not be formed, not because the arm will not hurl it, but because you have taken refuge in a love that does not flinch. He that prayed for Peter before the cock crowed has prayed for you.
Regarding the phone service, the travel funds, the friend’s account, these are the little sheep of your daily need, and the Shepherd knows them all. Pardon, peace, guidance, and yes, even bread and a working telephone line, these are within the grand granary of “all the promises.” Not a sparrow falls to the ground, nor a signal drops, without your Father. You do well to keep fast hold upon this: He shall perfect that which concerneth me. That is a promise whose range sweeps from the majesty of the heavens down to the dust of the smallest coin.
But I must also speak of restoration itself. You long for it, so be watchful. The Lord’s hand of healing can feel, for a season, like the wound of an enemy, because He cuts deep to get at the corruption. The sudden moving, the lack, the shaking, these are not the strokes of an unpitying foe. They are the incisions of a Divine Surgeon who counts no pity valid that leaves the disease untouched. Bear up under what seems rough, for immutable love is the hammer that will break your heart’s hardness, not to ruin you, but to restore you until you are able afterward to strengthen your brethren.
Your prayer outside, by the cold building, is not lost. The Lord Jesus Christ gives a look, a glance that speaks where no internet signal can penetrate. That Divine hieroglyphic of immutable love is written across your spirit already. It says, “I have prayed for you.” It says, “I will never leave you.” Go back inside that shelter, not with a calm that would make the world envious, but with the fierce peace that only the covered soul can know. We shall stand with you in intercession, expecting the deliverance together.
