"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" - Psalm 34:18 NIV. In times of suffering and trials, it's essential to remember that God is not distant. He's right there with us, understanding our struggles and ready to offer comfort.

God's desire is for our well-being. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that He has plans to give us hope and a future. As you already know this doesn't mean we won't face challenges, but we can have the assurance in those moments, and we can trust that God knows what's best for us.

Nothing is too difficult for God (Jeremiah 32:27). His power can transform our circumstances and bring good even from our hardest trials. In every moment, let's come to Him in prayer, pouring out our hearts, for He is always listening.

Be encouraged today: God is not just watching from afar; He is actively involved, working things out for our good (Romans 8:28).
