Let God be your most important resource; you must let Him help. "So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'" (Hebrews 13:6). God's strength is available at any given moment, but you must continue to use it. Melba, whose husband died, says, "I felt the strength of the Lord from the very beginning. Actually, I thought being alone was just going to be terrible. And it hasn't been terrible. I'm coping with it." Lord Jesus, I know Your strength is available, but sometimes I don't feel it. Help me to understand that Your strength, stability, and security is so much more than just a feeling inside. Amen.
