"Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him, and expect help from Him, He will never fail you." - George Mueller
Happy weekend, everyone! I hope the beautiful orchids above brighten your day(s) as we share special thoughts together now; thoughts to encourage you and give you hope. We all need encouragement and at times a helping hand.

Someone to help us hang in there and hold on. Friends and family are wonderful supporters, but ultimately only the good LORD can give us the exact help and encouragement we need through His Word and the Holy Spirit. I speak from experience, because I have been through some horrendous times and only prayer and God's Word and the Holy Spirit have seen me through and given me strength and endurance to ride out the storm. I am very thankful and give Him all the glory.
One Scripture I have memorized is Isaiah 41:10 = "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." Another comforting verse is Hebrews 13:5 b = ".....I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
What wonderful and encouraging promises from God !

"May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word." .... 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Remember, our attitude has a lot to do with how we respond to various trials and tests. So it is good to be absorbed daily in Scriptures so we will be inclined to always have a Christ-like attitude. Then we will not be overcome by our circumstances but will triumph over them with the Lord's help.

Remember, true friends and supportive family is a big plus, but even they can oppose you and turn against you unexpectedly. If you are a true believer, the Lord will never forsake you or leave you and, ultimately, He is our true source of help....our counselor, our redeemer, our comforter, our Savior. Yes, I need somebody....we all do....and first and foremost that is God and Jesus.
