“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9  (NIV). In a world having nearly eight billion humans, you would think it would be impossible to be alone. Physically perhaps, but what about those times we face overwhelming adversity? You find out who your true friends are when losing a job, experiencing financial challenges, or worse, losing a loved one. Sadly, during those times when having support means the most, the phone grows silent, leaving us to treat text messages and junk mail as if they really care. The loneliness and isolation during tough times can be void of hope. Thankfully, we can rest assured that God has not and will not abandon us. We can rely on Him to be there right in the mix of our problems, providing all of the love, support, and strength to endure that we will ever need. Regardless of eternal turmoil, we can enjoy peace and comfort at all times because He loves us and will never forsake us, even when we might ignore Him. We are assured we are never alone with God and the Holy Trinity
