         (To a YA who needed to remain in bed for much of her pregnancy:) Lift up your heart in joyous praise and song! Praise and adore and love Me! Sing unto Me with all your heart! Develop that close personal relationship with Me that I am asking for during this time. Be not weary and do not think that this is a waste of time, for this time is of great value to you and to your spirit.
         Through this silence and this time of quiet and rest and lack of movement, I am speaking great volumes to you. I am teaching you things that you will need during the battle that is ahead. I am strengthening your spirit. Though in the physical you think your body is becoming so weak, worry not; I will take care of all of that in My time.
         Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things shall be added unto you. Worry not for your children or for the baby in your womb, but only concern yourself with your relationship with Me. I have brought all of this upon you for that purpose--that you might gain a truly strong link with Me, that I will be able to work more easily with you, that I will be able to speak clearly to you and get through to you without difficulty.
         Your spirit will be soft and warm and looking to Me at every turn. You will know that you have no strength of your own, but that I will strengthen you and I will help you and I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness, just as My Word promises.
         So do not worry or fear. Have faith. Put your trust in Me and I will bring these things to pass. You will look back and value and cherish these times.
         I love you! This is not a punishment, this is your training. This is My love gift to you! I am giving you the desires of your heart. I am giving you the relationship with Me that you have asked for. So don't look upon this as a stone, for this is indeed bread from Heaven. This is indeed a gift of My Holy Spirit to you, for We love you greatly. I will strengthen you and help you through this time of need.
