O Eternal God, even if everyone abandons me, I know that You will be there for me. On most days, it is comforting to know that You walk with me. However, when I find myself in trouble or my circumstances have turned sour, I feel alone, burdened and disconnected from You. I begin to wonder what will happen to me or those I care for? When I find it hard to move my life forward, I ask myself “who can I count on?” You have assured me in many ways and at many times that You will be my source. At those moments when everything seems lost and thoughts of impending doom saturate my mind, I desperately need for You to stand by me. In Your strength and wisdom, I know that I can steady myself and get my bearing back. When You step in to rescue me, I am very grateful because You turn my pain into healing and my sorrow into joy. In Your loving arms, I find solace and rest.
Whenever I suffer loss or face insurmountable odds, I must remember that You are God and all things are possible through You … even my impossibilities. I am energized with hope when I know that You are there to help me manage my future. Your kind of hope never disappoints because it is rooted in Your desire to help me find a better tomorrow. Every encouraging word I receive from You, sows seeds of hope in my life. As my faith grows through Your empowerment and ministry, I get a better perspective of who I am and where I’m headed. I find that my ultimate peace comes from my personal relationship with You and the expectation that good will fill my life. As I commit myself to faithful worship, delving into Your Scriptures, sincere and heart-felt prayer … my ability to overcome evil with good increases. With You by my side, I am filled with joy and the power to overcome any obstacle I face.
I must never forget the fact that I am precious in Your sight and, as a consequence, should not fear or worry that You will not be there for me. Even though everyone is different, You delight in what makes each of us unique. It is almost unfathomable for me to understand how the God who made the sky, the sea, the earth and everything that lives in it knows me by name and is interested in what’s going on in my life. You have rescued me from seemingly impossible situations, delivered me from problems too big for me to handle and taken me to new and unexpected heights in my life. I believe that You rejoice when I do good and bear good fruit, no matter how small an accomplishment it might be. You linger by my side to protect me, guide me, help me and correct me. I am blessed to know that You see value in my life and have promised that You will never leave me. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Hebrews 13:5 Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.
