Today, listening to the radio I was reminded of an earlier time in my life.
As often happens when I hear of another young mother abandoned by
her husband, I could instantly recall the feelings of fear and insecurity I
experienced, as I worried what would become of my little family.
If you are currently walking this path, I want to encourage you.
Over the years, our Heavenly Father has provided for me and my
children in every possible way: spiritually, financially and emotionally.
God is no respecter of persons and He will do the same for you.
You may not feel His presence. It may seem like your prayers are
bouncing off the ceiling. He understands and He will lift you up if
you just cling to Him. There were so many days that the only prayer
I could summon was "Help me, Jesus." He did and as I trusted Him
each day, it became easier; the burden lighter.
We may not know what the future holds but we do know WHO holds our
future.
For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper
you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
