TRIALS Lent Devotions #34


By beanerywriters(11,675)



SCRIPTURE: "In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me." (KJV)

REFLECTION: Twelve years ago my husband Ted was killed by a drunken driver. We’d been married 32 years, and had five children, one of whom lived at home and attended college. The other four were married and lived all over the world---Germany,  North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

After Ted’s death I spiraled downward. Life seemed hard to navigate. Sadness pervaded my heart, mind, and soul.

I felt no relief from my pain.

"Where are you, Lord? I need you,” I prayed.

Nothing helped until I received a note from a friend. "Thinking Of You," simply printed on the front of the card, gave me encouragement. Inside the note, I read, "Our thoughts

and prayers are with you..."

How much easier it is to go through our trials with the help of friends!

Have you developed friendships that can carry you through the storms of life, who know just what you need during your life crises? Remember your best friend: God.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I know you are the kind of friend who will help me through my trials. Thank you. Amen.    ---written by Patricia Orendorff Smith
