We are all in need of encouragement. We are all facing different battles. We are all just wanting to find comfort and peace while we go through it and words of encouragement to keep us going. The journey is a long up hill battle sometimes with thrones and rocks in the way. Unsuspected surprises you don’t see coming. I am here to listen if you need a ear. I am here to just sit quitely if you want a companion but don’t have anything to say. I am here to pray for you. I am here to encourage you. I am simply here if needed.
I would like to start with a song. Music has a way of connecting people together. https://youtu.be/UhrxwsA9gQM

I am a Christian and I strongly believe in diving into the Bible to find answers to life’s trials and tribulations.This is what the scriptures have to say:
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 KJV
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lordthy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9 KJV
But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:32 KJV
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 KJV
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33 KJV
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 KJV
A final song to end with. https://youtu.be/b8VoUYtx0kw

I just wanted to send encouragement to you in the different ways so that at least one of them will speak to you and help you. A simple reminder that you are not alone through life’s journey come what may. God bless you and your loved ones.
