Sometimes we face different challenges in life. Sometimes it seems like it’s just one thing after another. It may seem like we meet with difficulties on every side. When going through hard times, we may be tempted to think God has abandoned us.
When we go through hard times that does not mean God has abandoned us, that Jesus doesn’t love us, or that Jesus doesn’t care about us. Absolutely not! God has promised He will never leave us or forsake us.
As long as Jesus is with us, we have nothing to fear. Yes, the road may be tough and disappointing sometimes, but by God’s grace, we will experience God’s peace as we travel our unique paths if we fix our eyes on Jesus. Yes, Jesus is with us through it all.
