Isaiah 40:31 "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not become faint."

Psalm 33:22 "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you."

I know from experience that there will come times in life when you feel as though God's abandoned you in your time of need, but believe me, God is always there. He would never leave us. Sometimes God places trials in our lives to bring us closer to him and to further our faith in him. We just need to trust that God is faithful, believe that he has a reason for all things in our lives and remember that he'll never give you anything you can't handle.

Extra time in the Word: Matthew 17:20
