I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. He will send help from heaven to save me…. My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness" (Psalm 57:1-3 NLT). When you are at your lowest point and it seems as though no one can reach you, God can. He is there for you, if you will just accept His help. "God has to be a comfort blanket to you," says Barbara Johnson. "Until you accept that comfort blanket of God's love, you are going to be struggling or hurting. God's comfort blanket makes you feel so secure and so loved. His comfort blanket has sustained me." God's everlasting arms will always be underneath you, upholding you through the pain. His love will always surround you, enveloping you in comfort and security. His wisdom will guide you through each day. Talk to God today. Tell Him that you need His help, His love, His comfort, and His everlasting presence. "The Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him" (Psalm 32:10). Saving God, I need Your help. I need to know and experience Your love and comfort in my life today. Thank you for loving me.
