Lord, where are you?

“Lord, where are You?”

Have you ever asked this question? Are you asking it right now? There are days when, though the sky is blue and the weather pleasant, it seems like clouds are gathering above our heads. The Christian life isn’t just a succession of moments of joy and victories. Because if you have victories, you also have battles...

At such times, it can be easy to lose sight of the Lord. To no longer see His moving hand. To no longer hear His reassuring voice. Yet, He hasn’t changed. God hasn’t changed. He is still Emmanuel, God with us. Emmanuel is with you.

So, you are never alone on this path. Jesus is always present, never far away. He is the One who understands you. In the difficult times, Jesus shows Himself to be a true friend...  

• Who doesn’t leave the boat when the storm rages because He is faithful (see the Bible, 2 Thessalonians 3:3),
• Who doesn’t condemn you but loves you (see Romans 8:1), 
• Who stands by your side because He is your support (see Psalm 54:4)

Jesus is faithful, patient, and loving. Today more than ever, in everything you’re going through, He stands with you.

You are not alone in this trial, in this challenge you have to face. You are not alone facing this new day before you. You are not alone, and you never will be again.

I invite you to pray with me…“Lord Jesus, thank You for Your faithfulness, Your friendship, Your presence. You are Emmanuel, God with me. I am absolutely assured that You won’t abandon me, my faithful, true friend. I’m not alone in the situation I’m going through...You are with me. Thank You, Jesus...with You, I am stronger. In Your name, amen.”
