Who do you run to in times of trouble? Do you reach for the phone or run to the throne? Many people have a long list of supporters who they depend upon when things get a little rough. Most of us would say our mother, best friend, spouse etc. Where on the list is Jesus? Next to which number is God?

Please remember, these Scriptures are there to encourage you to P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens).  Jesus loved you enough to die for you, surely such a sacrifice speaks volumes of love...why not trust Him casting your cares on Him because He cares for you.  His promise is to never leave us or forsake us.   Why then do you search for company when in sorrow? So why do you say or feel you are alone? He waits with open arms to comfort, heal, help, strengthen, lift, carry, hold, calm, rescue, protect, raise and bless you. There has never been a problem that He couldn't solve, a heart that He couldn't mend, an illness that He couldn't cure...or a cry that He could not hear.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)
