We don’t really know the extent of someone’s pain or hurt unless we’ve experienced it ourselves. We may say to someone grieving; ‘I know how you feel,’ unless you’ve been in a similar situation and even then not completely for each person’s experience is unique.
A new year and new beginnings. We all hope for a better year every January. It’s a 50/50 chance that a new year will be an improvement or live up to our expectations.
Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
We prayed that God would miraculously
sustain our strength; each day our food rations
diminished so the German soldiers on the
battlefronts could receive more food. Shortly
after all of us Christians had prayed for
physical strength, the neighboring farmers
again rallied for us.
