I think that God is closest to us when we are at our lowest . Tests are tools of lessons . I have lost much and many and had almost began to think God hated me . Satan followed me day and night whispering that God did not exist and Jesus was mythical. Lying to me over and over again..
" when he speaketh a lie , he speaketh of his own : for he is a liar , and the father of it " John 8:44
But I had to keep praying and trusting in my faith and that is the only way to make it through adversity. Pray and Believe.
(When I remember thee on my upon my bed , and meditate on thee in the night watches .Because thou hast been my help , therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.) pslams63:6-7
I thanked god over and over recently. No eloquent words came to me as those written by some of the beautiful poets in the bible and some of the people whose words I have had oppurtunity to read on this site. No graceful words dripping in beauty or luring others to listen , but simply singing almost in a sing - song. Thank you God .. Thank you Jesus. Thank for seeing me through. Thank you God .. Thank you Jesus...
