Encouragement comes from??
Be encouraged, God loves you. He didn't put you in the situation you are in by chance, there's a purpose! He trusts that you can go through the situation, and still give Him glory and praise. So, be of good courage, face what you don't know with the certainty and assurance that God has ordered your steps.
When David was being chased by Saul and he was hiding in caves and mountains, he wrote some of the most beautiful psalms (songs). He did this, not so that you and I would have something to read or sing on Sundays, but as a way to encourage himself and remind himself of who God is. Draw that parallel to you, and the situation that you are currently in.

You may, in fact, be in a situation in which you feel like you are being persecuted, chased, you might be in pain, or maybe you feel alone. God was with David, and He is with you. Take David's example and encourage yourself, remind yourself of who God is in the midst of the situation. Besides...
Joshua 1:9(NIV) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Omnipresent God,
Thank you! Thank you for being an ever present force no matter where I am physically or spiritually. Thank you for the gift of your Word to encourage me when I feel lonely or depleted of strength. I love and thank you.
We love you and we are praying for you!
