A friend once told me "When God is all you have; God is all you need." In my darkest days I have found that to be true. Only God's presence in those moments brought me through.
I have spoken and ministered to many individuals. I have heard stories of darkness and brokenness and no hope. The HOPE is in Jesus Christ, the HOPE is in His Word, the HOPE is in a relationship with Him.
We often hear stories of Paul who was flogged, imprisoned, shipwrecked yet through it all, he was not alone. Even when he was in the minority, he never gave up. He clung to the Lord and spread the gospel.
For some of us "dark days" can be a spouse leaving us, a prodigal child, or even a bad score on a college final. God never moves! He remains ever present to walk you through it.
So when you feel like you are in the pit of darkness, remember "When God is all you have-God is all you need" - you are not alone!
At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all might hear it. And I was delivered from the Lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever Amen. 2 Timothy 4:16-18
