“God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.”

Psalm 46:1 NIV

Remember God is not distant…He will never leave you.  If God feels far off it is because we have wandered away from Him.  He is with you, He is for you.  No matter what happens, give thanks to God and strive to focus on an attitude of gratitude.

“Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray continually, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV
