My child, think it not strange the fiery trials you're going through. Remember Peter, as he kept looking up to Me, did what was humanly impossible through the power of My Holy Spirit. You cannot walk on top of the stormy waters but for Me. Yet I can take your hand and you shall walk in a new dimension; one humanly impossible, as I, Your Lord lift you up. Come unto me all you who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest/renewal/restoration. I shall lift you up if you relax in My arms. Yield, snuggle in My everlasting arms, have a good cry, pour out your heart to Me, my daughter. I LOVE you. I weep with you and I desire to release you into that peace and joy you long for in your walk/life.
James 1:2
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds.(NIV)
Matthew 14:30
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" (NIV)
Psalm 146:8
the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. (NIV)
Psalm 18:6
In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. (NIV)
Psalm 61:4
I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah. (NIV)
Matthew 11:28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, please be with my sister (a friend who was really struggling - I think this piece was for her and me) and be the lifter of her head. Help her draw even closer to You through this trying time. Thank You for Your wisdom and comfort for her. AMEN

While this is a great witness and inspiration to others, I didn't understand what the prayer at the bottom had to do with the rest of it. Thanks for the verses.This was something that I shared with a sister in the Lord as she was going through a struggle at the time - guess it might be a bit vague there - thanks for your insights!
