Dear Friend,

There are many people in the world today that feel alone and wish there was someone they can talk to and who understands them. The good news is I know of such a person. His name is Jesus Christ and He wishes to spend time with everyone who calls upon His name. God knows you so well, the Bible says in Jeremiah 1:5,' Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.'

Never think you are alone or that nobody cares about you for the Bible declares that Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Simply call upon His name and He will be there to answer. (Rev. 3:20) (Prov. 18:24)I hope you will be encouraged by this message that shows when we get frustrated with life's problems and don't know what else to do, we can call upon our Heavenly Father and ask Him to hold and comfort us. Allow this message to speak to your heart if you are going through some tough situations and remember that God is only a prayer and call away from where you are right now. (Psalm 55:16-18) (Psalm 91:14-16)

A little boy was helping his father move some books out of an attic into more spacious quarters downstairs. It was important to this little boy that he was helping his dad, even though he was probably getting in the way and slowing things down more than he was actually assisting. But that boy had a wise and patient father who knew it was more important to work at a task with his young son than it was to move a pile of books efficiently.

Among this man's books, however, were some rather large study books, and it was a chore for the boy to get them down the stairs. As a matter of fact, on one particular load, the boy dropped his pile of books several times. Finally, he sat down on the stairs and wept in frustration. He wasn't doing any good at all. He wasn't strong enough to carry the big books downa narrow stairway. It hurt him to think he couldn't do this for his daddy.Without a word, the father picked up the dropped load of books, put them into the boy's arms, and scooped up both the boy and the books into his arms and carried them down the stairs. And so they continued load after load, both very much enjoying each other's company. The boy carrying the books, and the dad carrying the boy.

I don't believe God is impressed by the accomplishments we have achieved and He does not judge us according to the number of goals we have attained,but rather God looks at each person as His own precious child whom He loves regardless of their stature by today's living standard. Be encouraged and know that God loves you just the way you are and He cares for you more than you will probably ever know.I want you to be encouraged and know that God is not some being in heaven that is waiting to strike you down, but rather when you fall and get frustrated with life's problems, He is the one who comes to lift you up and hold you in His arms. God is a loving Father and wishes to calm and deliver every person from their heartaches, but we must recognize that we are not perfect and need to call on the Lord and ask Him to carry us whenwe are not able to carry ourselves.

Jesus says, "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."

Mark 11:24
