Maybe not when you want or in the way you want, but he is your loving, merciful Father, and he can’t ignore the cries of his children. You can be sure that God will respond to your pleas for mercy. He takes no delight in the suffering of his people. He is not ignoring you and his heart breaks over your suffering. God hears your cries and sees your tears. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God ( Psalm 40:1-3). He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. I waited patiently for the Lord he inclined to me and heard my cry. God’s grace is sufficient for you, even in these deep, dark times. Take heart, because God loves to sustain the weak. The reality is, you ARE weak, you’re just feeling it more acutely now. Even if you don’t have assurance of your salvation, you can be assured that God has a firm hold on you. When you are weak, he will strengthen you. When you fall, he will uphold you with his righteous right hand. Good news! You don’t have to hold on to God because he is holding to you. Like your weak and helpless, unable to do anything. In your depression, you feel like you can’t hang on to God. …fear not, for I am with you be not dismayed, for I am your God I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand ( Isaiah 41:10). You are his child, and like a dad clearing a path through the woods for his small child, so God is going ahead of you, clearing the way. Do not fear or be dismayed ( Deuteronomy 31:8).ĭon’t be dismayed because God is with you! Just as he swore to never desert the people of Israel, he will NEVER leave you or forsake you because you are in Christ.
He will be with you he will not leave you or forsake you. May these give you hope and strength as you wait for God to lead you out of the Valley of Darkness.
