Many of us are going through exceedingly challenging times right now. You may be struggling with an illness, you may be struggling financially, you may be grieving over the loss of a loved one or a relationship, or another circumstance that has you frustrated and afraid. You pray and pray, and nothing happens. It's at these times that you think that either God doesn't hear you or He has abandoned you. It can be so, so hard to believe that God is there for me, because you’re terrified of the opposite being true. I've been there but what I've discovered is that God as provided a way for me to get out of that funk through something that He has already provided, His Word.
Here are seven scriptures that you can turn to at times when it feels as if everything is falling apart and that you’re all alone. Keep them in a journal, on your phone, or anywhere that you can easily access whenever you need them.
