'Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me' (Psalm 38:21).
God has promised His people that He will never leave or forsake them and that His presence will continue to be with them. We should be confident to trust the promises of God. When our friends, family, or others forsake us, God will lift us up to Himself and give us peace and the courage to go on. He will always help us in our time of need; sometimes He allows us to go through the fire of hardship, strife, trials, alienation, adversity, to strengthen us or test our loyalty to Him; but He is indeed very much present. God is a compassionate Father and will not leave us in our troubles, nor sickness, nor in our sorrows. We can be assured that He hears us when we call upon Him. David prayer was one of urgency and persistency. His friends had forsaken him in a time of great need and he felt as all his strength left him, as a result of the affliction caused by others. He now pleaded with God, not to forsake him, or cease to care for him, nor be far from him, because he wouldn't be able to survive. We too have the assurance that when we call upon the Lord in our troubles or afflictions, He will hear and help us. Our faith in God is paramount, and whatever happens we must be assured of our salvation in God, through Christ. We have an Omnipresent God, who is everywhere for everyone who comes to Him; and is not far from His people. He will deliver us from our fears, anxieties, worries, perplexities and our imperfections; because He is God. At times He may withdraw from us for His purpose, or when we are disobedient, but His eyes are still on us. To us it might feel as if He has forsaken us, but his withdrawal is only temporary, for His divine purpose. Whenever we call upon God, He is present to help and deliver us. Let us have confidence and trust in the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father and believe, that when we call upon him, He will hear and help us.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
