He will help you!

This time of year is hard for some of us, loved ones lost, feeling alone, for each person it is a little different. God does not want us to feel that way, if we let Him He will take care of us and provide all of our needs. God has made sure that throughout the bible there are examples of what He does for us when we are at our tipping point. At one point Elijah felt like he should not live another day “he sat down and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” ^{1 Kings 19:4} But God did not feel the same way He sent an angel to help Elijah  All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” ^{1 Kings 19:5-7} When Elijah listened to what God said and used what God gave him, he was then able to have the strength to go on  So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights. ^{1 Kings 19:8} When we look to God for help He will provide what we need, He knows us better then we know ourselves and if you let Him in He will always help!
