God's eye on you. Looking from heaven with HIS shining eyes. God sees all you're going through, and all you endured to the glory of His name. He said His grace is sufficient for you. Thus you you can accomplish everything by His strength, Philippians 4:13. He promised us never to let us walk alone, That even though we walk through the darkest valley, We will fear no evil, for HE is present with us; His rod and staff, are guiding and comforting us always. Psalms 23:4 NIV
In times of despair and weariness, it's essential to remember that God is always by your side, watching over you even when you feel discouraged. He is a faithful and loving God who promises to never let you down. As the Psalmist beautifully expresses in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." This verse affirms that even in our moments of deep sorrow, God is near, offering comfort and salvation.
Additionally, Isaiah 41:10 provides another powerful assurance, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
This passage reminds us that God is not only watching over us but actively working to strengthen and support us. So, when life feels overwhelming and sighs escape our lips, we can find solace in knowing that God's unwavering presence is with us, offering guidance and care.
God heard Hagar son crying and came to rescue them. Genesis 21:8-21
“Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel, you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
Isaiah 46:3-4

The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace. In the name of Jesus our burden bearer. Amen
