"…lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age." Matthew 28:20

We as Christians are never truly alone. God is always with us. He sees what we go through. He sees how we respond to the problems we come across in our lives. He knows all our faults and, amazingly, loves us anyway. He truly is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

In this life, no one is immune to persecution. You will have trials. During these times of trial, oftentimes we feel isolated. We feel all alone. We say, "No one knows what I am going through." We don’t want to be around anyone either. We feel no one understands. We cut off or limit communication with our friends and family. Oftentimes we even cut off communi-cation with God. This is crazy. God loves you! He has placed family and friends in your life to help you. When trials and tests come to our lives, we need to lean on God and lean on our friends and family.

Remember God is always with us. He has blessed us with a wonderful church family to help us along the way. Don’t let the devil isolate you. Reach out for help and you will receive it.
