Are you suffering?
Do you feel forgotten, lonely or alone?
Like the stars that still shine behind the dark cloak of night, know that God is with you on your darkest days, in your difficult circumstances. His Word declares: I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
Take comfort from the fact that even Jesus felt abandoned by his Father (My God, My God, Why hast thou forsaken me?), and because Jesus suffered similarly, He is able to relate to you and to me. He is able to succour (help and support) us when, and whilst we are going through our difficulties.
So dear, dear reader, if this is where you are at right now, call out to him! Cast aside that shroud of doubt. Resist those thoughts and fears which whisper and tell you otherwise and sometimes threaten to overwhelm you. Do not cast aside your confidence and faith in the Lord.
Reflect on this: you may FEEL as if God has abandoned you, but much like the individual in the Footprints poem, far from abandoning you, he is walking besides you and when you are unable to walk, he carries you!
Dear reader, won’t you trust him, draw nearer to him, allow him to minister his love to you?
As we draw closer to Thanksgiving Day, let’s express gratitude to our Father God for his faithfulness, even when we least deserve it. And let’s be thankful that Jesus, our faithful high priest, ever lives to make intercession for us.
Have a tremendous week!
Love,
Carol (aka Lady Cee)

Women of Warfare! (WOW!) 
Beautiful. There is a song my brother shared with me many years ago when he was sick. It’s stuck with me all these years when I am struggling. “Footprints in the Sand” by Leona Lewis. https://youtu.be/dCsZNalcaXM Just like the poem, this song reminds you that there is so much more than what you see and there is someone there with us at all times!

Hello Shell,
Good to hear from you. I’d forgotten about that song by Leona Lewis. Thanks for the link. I had wanted to add an appropriate song and couldn’t think of one. Thank you so much for your visit and valuable input, which is appreciated.
