I WORRY SO MUCH FOR MY FRIENDS ON HERE THAT FEEL OVERWHELMED AND FEEL LIKE THERE ARE NO ANSWERS. I AM CONSTANTLY PRAYING FOR GOD TO COMFORT THEM AND HELP THEM TO FEEL HIS PEACE. I REALIZE SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE EMPTY WORDS. BUT. . .NOTHING THAT COMES FROM GODS WORD IS EMPTY. I WAS READING A DEVOTIONAL TODAY, AND THIS IS WHAT I READ. I LEFT THE LINK IN CASE ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN CHECKING INTO THE WEBSITE. IT HAS A LOT TO OFFER. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL.
THE LORD, MY FAITHFUL FRIEND By Gail Rodgers 
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22 - 23)
She drove through the early morning hours trying to push the cobwebs from her mind. This fresh disappointment came just when she had begun to hope that, this time, things would be different. Why did people always seem to let her down?
The pink sky of the morning sunrise caught her attention. As the sun rose over the horizon of a new day, she couldn’t help but think of God. Some familiar words from the Bible surfaced in her mind…
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22 - 23)
She knew the Holy Spirit was reminding her of the truth of God’s Word. God had never let her down. He had always been there. At every twist and turn of her journey He had been faithful to her. Morning after morning His tender mercies were there for her just as faithfully as the sun rose daily over the earth.
As she thought about her life she realized afresh that God had never let her down. In times when she felt confused or disappointed, He was there to help her. He held her through the ups and downs of everyday. She determined to praise Him for that even in the face of this fresh disappointment.
Take a moment right now and review God’s track record in your life. He has been faithful even when others have not. He is faithful even when we ourselves have not been faithful to Him.
Right now, as you read these words, His compassion for you is a sure thing. You will not be consumed by the present circumstances if you look to see His fresh mercy and grace every day. They are there for you today just as surely as the sun rises above the earth.
Set your eyes on His faithfulness right now. Choose to praise Him with these words from (Psalm 57: 7-11) “My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music… I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.”
We praise the name of the LORD our God!

Thanks for this post. As I read it, I was reminded of how He has always been there with me. At my lowest points, when no one else stood with me, He was there. He has always revealed Himself to me in my times of need. Thank you for this. I believe God has touched me through you. He has reached me today.
Peace...................David
Thank you so much Sherie for sharing this devotion and for the link. I feel very blessed that God was kind enough to put you in my life.
Thanks for sharing. I need to \'let go and let God\' much more often. I have control issues and need to learn to completely let go.
