We all go through struggles in life, each and every one of us. Some of these struggles are meant to be shared with others, but some of them are meant to be carried alone. But whatever our struggle is, and no matter how challenging, difficult, or painful it may be, one thing's for sure: God is with us, and will never leave us nor forsake us.
Friend, are you going through a deep struggle that only you know? Are you facing a dilemma that's too hard for you to explain or too difficult to open up to others? Let me assure you: You're not alone.
The God of the universe, the God who made everything in creation, the God who rules over everything that was made, knows what you're going through. He sees you, sees your tears, hears your sobs, and knows what's in your heart. And if you're in Christ, He's more than just being your Provider and Protector – He is your Comforter, your Shepherd, and your Father who loves you so much.
Friend, let these words from the Bible help you face whatever struggle you are going through.
Zephaniah 3:17 – "The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."Isaiah 40:10-11 – "Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young."Isaiah 40:28-31 – "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."Psalm 121 – "I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore."Psalm 103:13-18 – "The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; He remembers we are only dust. Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone— as though we had never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear Him. His salvation extends to the children's children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!"
