A Love Letter to God: Affirmations That Remind You, You Are Deeply Loved

When I was younger at church we’d sing a song that says, “Jesus is on the mainline, tell Him what you want.” As I am now getting into journaling, I couldn’t help but think— what if I had Jesus on the mainline (mainline is a phone, what if I had a conversation via phone with my Lord and Savior)? 

I’m learning to stay emotionally stable in my walk with Jesus Christ, and maybe you are too. If you’ve ever felt like this, then these affirmations are for both of us. They’re reminders to stand firm in God’s love and trust His plans, especially during those moments when it feels like He’s silent. We need to remember that He always has our best interest at heart. In those quiet times, we have to make space to hear Him and follow His teachings, knowing that He’s guiding us all along the way.
