Lord, You are always there to hear and respond to my cries for help. I can seek You in times of distress and all times. My focus is on You to lead me in everything I do. I trust You and I lean into You knowing You are always there for me.

"Oh Lord, I am oppressed, under take for me!" – Isiah 38:14

I am learning that in affliction, God molds and shapes us more and more into His image, preparing us for all that lies ahead.
