You are not alone

Kaye Cover

“You are not alone”—four short words, but their message is powerful, comforting, and true. God’s omnipresence provides the guidance and healing thoughts we need to face and overcome challenges of whatever sort.

Such was the case one winter evening as I was driving through the mountains, when a few snowflakes turned into a blinding snowstorm. I cautiously followed car tracks on the unplowed, deserted highway. As usual when driving in inclement weather, I prayed nonstop, repeating the assertion from First John 4:16 that “God is love,” and adding my own declaration that “God controls and governs all action.” These prayers helped curb the fear and reminded me that God was in control.
