After crises crush sufficiently, God steps in to comfort and teach.
(Charles R. Swindoll)

When you are in the middle of a trial, are you able to praise God through it all? In recalling my own experiences, I would venture to say--if you are anything like me--that most of the time we forget to give thanks to God in all things as we are told to do in Ephesians 5:20.

While we are in the crucible of learning, may we remember what Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:20:

“...lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

"God, be with those today going through a crisis only You know about.
Amen."

Draw near to God, He is as near as your heartbeat.
