Sometimes, when it seems the darkest, where you wonder how you will ever be able to get through the situation at hand, where life seems so hopeless.

Sometimes, when it seems the darkest, where you wonder how you will ever be able to get through the situation at hand, where life seems so hopeless. And you just don’t know what to do! It is then when you least expect it, hope emerges, and God is there. Then and only then are you able to take a breath. It is hard to remember during these difficult times, that God is always there, even when we do not feel it. See, God promised to be with us in all situations and circumstances. He is the one sure thing in this life of ours. All we have to do is turn to Him and wait patiently in the stillness of the moment. Psalms 27:1 reads, “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” So be still and know that the LORD God Almighty is there with you, working in and through the situation—even when it doesn’t seem like it—trust—wait—be still. And that at times can be the hardest thing to do, but in the end, it will work out—it always does. God Bless. Amen.
