It is a promise that is made over and over again in the Bible: whatever “it is, God can handle it. When we are worried, God reassures us; when we are sad, God comforts us. God is always there for us when we have needs or are broken-hearted. Hence, it is to our gain and benefit to lift our thoughts and requests to God in prayers. Why? God is our Shepherd, and He has promised to protect us now and forever. Are you facing challenges that leave you fearful or discouraged? If so, you need not carry your burdens alone. God is ready to help; the next move is yours. Let us cast our cares unto God. The anchor holds! — Psalm 71:19
