I can give you the strength to bear the troubles of life

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV)

 I can’t promise to spare you from the storms of life, but I can promise to be with you through them. My help may not always come in the form you expect, but it will always come. I will never leave or forsake you. I will never leave you to struggle on your own.
 When you ask for My help, I will answer your prayer. When you are worried or fearful, I will give you faith to trust Me, peace of mind, and courage to carry on. When you are weak and weary, lean on Me and I will give you strength. When your heart is broken, I will mend it.
 I can’t keep you from all hardships and sorrows, but I can give you the strength to bear the troubles of life and bring about good from every circumstance you face. I can help your spirit rise above the storms of life to My heavenly kingdom where the sun is always shining.
 I am your sunshine on a rainy day, and the rainbow after the storm. I am the bright ray of hope that puts the sparkle back in your eyes. —Jesus [1]

 God sought us out and pursued us, because we were and are the objects of his merciful attention.  —Carlo Maria Martini
