Encourage yourself and remember who God is.
Be encouraged, God loves you. He didn't put you in the situation you are in by chance, there's a purpose! Be of good courage and face this situation with the certainty and assurance that God has ordered your steps.
When King David was being chased by Saul and he was hiding in caves in mountains, he penned some of the most beautiful and thought-provoking psalms (songs). Think about that for a moment. He was being hunted down, and he was writing music (my kind of guy). He did this, not so that you and I would have something to sing/read on Sundays, but as a way to encourage himself and remind himself of who God is. I had to stand on the fact that he belonged to the most-high God. (To whom do you belong?)
Draw King David's situation parallel to you and your situation. You may, in fact, be in a situation to where you feel like you are being persecuted, chased, or maybe you feel rejected, dejected, and/or alone. But guess what? God was with David, and He is with you. Take King David's example and encourage yourself, remember to whom you belong; remind yourself who God is IN THE MIDST of the situation that you are in.
While in a cave, while hurting and in pain, while being persecuted, while in the storm, the valley, the wilderness...Praise God in advance!
We love you, and we are praying for you.
