“I will never leave you nor forsake you” Hebrews 13:5, NKJV Even though we need people in our lives sometimes people aren’t there when we need them to be, even the best of us, but, irrespective of that, there is one who will stick closer to you than anyone and that is God! For “God is our refuge, a very present help in the times of trouble (Psalms 46:1, NKJV).” For the word of God expressively states “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares for you (I Peter 5:7, NLT)” and God also promises us that “When we go through deep waters, He would be there for us. When we go through rivers of diffi- culty, we would not drown, as well as, when we walk through the fire of oppression, we wouldn’t be burned up, for He is the Lord, our God, the Holy One of Israel, Our Savior (Isaiah 43:2, 3).” Now who do you know can make such promises and then keep them? No one, only God. That is why it is so reas- suring to know who your true source is! I know who my source is and that is why I seek the Lord for his help daily and his will to be performed in my life for his glory. Don’t ever allow circumstances, people that walk out of your life or anything that may transpire in your life to make you think you are alone for God is always near and open to your cries and is never too busy to hear you when you pray and commune with him. He is without a shadow of doubt our “Abba Father” (Romans 8:15, NLT). God loves you very much and not a day goes by that he isn’t watching over your life and keeping you safe from dangers unimag- inable. In conclusion, when you are tempted to start feeling overwhelmed and feeling like you are by yourself and that no one under- stands your pain and all that you are going through, affix your eyes on God! Remember that Jesus came on this earth, suffered, bled and died for your benefit. And, he doesn’t make that supreme sacrifice for a person that has no value. He considered you so valuable that he atoned for your sins and for mine and that atonement, within itse lf, is a true testament of his unconditional love for all of mankind! For God so loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16, NLT).  Jennifer Workman is an Evangelist, Inspira- tional Speaker, writer, song writer and founder of Simply Victorious Ministries. www.himpowermagazine.com  9
