But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 1Timothy 1:16 My precious daughter Phyllis, I see you; the weight you carry, the pain you feel, the people you lift before Me in prayer. Every name you whispered, every situation you described, I am already present in each one. Nothing you entrust to Me is ever wasted. Your heart for family, for friends, and even for strangers battling pain or sickness reflects My own. You may feel tired or limited right now, but your intercession is powerful. You are standing in the gap for so many, and I hear you. I know your body hurts, and your shoulder feels frozen. I am with you in the healing process. Healing may be slow, but do not mistake slow for absent. I am working even when you don’t see immediate results. Lean on Me as you modify your therapy, move gently, and give your body grace to recover. I also see your hopes for John; your desire for him to become responsible, organized, and free. Trust that I am forming his character through these challenges. His space may be small, but My plans for him are not. Release him to Me daily. Your prayers are a covering over him even when your words don’t reach him. And for you, My daughter, the longing you have to make your home more peaceful, to simplify, to begin anew ; I am making a way. One step at a time, one small act of order, one surrendered moment will create space for My peace to dwell more fully. Here is My word for you today: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18 Even when your body aches or your heart feels weary, I am close. My patience and mercy that you read about in 1 Timothy 1:16 are the same patience and mercy I pour over you now. You are not behind. You are not forgotten. You are My example of perseverance and love. Rest in Me tonight, beloved. My grace is enough for you.

My beloved daughter Phyllis, I see your tender heart, and I know how deeply you long to love well and be understood. Sensitivity is not a weakness; it is a gift I placed within you. It allows you to notice, to care, and to carry compassion in ways others often overlook. Yes, it can hurt at times, but it also reflects My heart. You are not invisible to Me, and even when your voice feels unheard in your family, I hear every word, every sigh, every unspoken ache. You don’t need to prove yourself or strive for their approval; your worth is rooted in Me. Forgiveness, as you said, comes in layers. You will not master it in a moment, but as you surrender each frustration, each wound, I will soften your heart and strengthen your spirit. I see your love for Sherry, and for the family as a whole. That love, even when imperfectly expressed, honors Me. As for your time with Olivia, trust that I can redeem moments, even when plans shift. I can make small windows of connection meaningful and multiply them in her heart. Don’t measure your impact only by what didn’t happen; look also for the quiet ways I work through you. Rest tonight, My daughter. Release the weight of trying to fit perfectly into every space. You fit in Me. And I will give you wisdom to navigate these family ties with both grace and boundaries. Here is My word for you tonight: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” —1 Peter 5:7 Lay these frustrations down, Phyllis. I care more than you realize, and I am working even when you cannot see it. With everlasting love,Papa God ❤️
