Be assured that God loves you and that He understands how much you are hurting. God promises you in Isaiah 43:2 that when you go through deep waters and great trouble, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Run to the shelter of the Most High where you will find sweet rest (Psalm 91:1-2).As a clousre "…fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you to my righteous right hand." ~Almighty God; Isaiah 41:10
