The longer I live on this earth; I get to meet extraordinary people that are doing some amazing things for the kingdom of God. I also meet some folks that just can’t seem to get to the other side, there always seems to be a battle, they can’t seem to find their own way or win that victory. Sometimes life just seems to get too hard, marriages get tough and you just get so discouraged you just don’t think there is any way out, but I beg to differ. Because my God always rescues every time and I know it’s hard because it gets real hard sometimes because it just feels like you are in the desert. You are just thinking “God where are you? I know you are there but I don’t see you, I don’t feel you, I can’t touch you...where are you?” 

And if you are one of those people I want to let you know that help is on the way. So be encouraged, even through the tough times in the desert, whether you realize it or not, God is using it for the Good. So hold on, help is on the way. 

He said he'd never leave you or forsake you so stay strong and Just reach out and take his hand. He knows your heart, He lifts your head and He's always close enough to hear every word you said. His arm is long enough to reach you where you are 

He sees your tears 
He fights your fears 

So hold on, because help is on the way!

Let me ask you something.

If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?

If they prayed for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give them opportunities to be courageous?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

Sometimes the answers to our prayers are right under our noses and we don't even stop long enough to notice it. God hasn't forgotten you, sometimes we just need to stop, look and listen.
