I got an email the other day that really caught my attention. It was a handy little chart that had scripture on it. It was a list of the things or excuses we say to God and his responses. The more that I read, the more I realized I have/had said the same things to God. So many times I have told the LORD, “I can’t do this”, or “I just can’t go on”. When if I would have just held/hold on to His Word, it would tell me that I can hold on and I can make it through anything. There have been times I’ve wondered where God is or if He still cares, but that was just Satan whispering ugly nothings in my ear. I DO NOT listen to those anymore. God is with us every day. He is NOT dead NOR does HE sleep! His eyes roam all over watching us, protecting us, loving us each and every moment of every day.
If you are ever in need of needing reassurance or just that uplifting word, look toward these promises and know that God is right there.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.-I Corinthians 1:30
You say: “I feel all alone”
God says: I will never leave you or forsake you
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.-Hebrews 13:5
I truly hope that these help. As I was reading all these scriptures, I couldn’t help but feel reassured and safe, knowing that when I feel alone, afraid, or worried, God is always with me. And He will NEVER leave.
Sending prayers and blessings,
Amanda
