Dear George, the Lord will never leave you or forsake you. Jesus gave His life for you. He loves you that much. He loves you for caring greatly for your daughter. He loves you for who you are fighting for justice and Godliness.

There is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear. Your courage and strength come from the Lord ❤️ 🙏🏻

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit, as you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour 🙏🏻

Dear George,

The Lord is closer than Your breath, and he won't ever leave you. As the poem 'Footprints' says, when there is only one set of footprints and it looks like you are alone, the Lord is actually carrying you. It is Satan who is whispering these thoughts into your head, which means you are achieving something he doesn't want you to, so keep pressing on through these feelings of being of lost, and alone. You are making a difference in so many lives.

May the Lord Bless You and Your family with whatever strength you need to move through this period of your life, but you will come out stronger and more able to be there for others as you move forward.

Dear George, I am so sorry you are going through this dark time, and I am holding you and your little daughter in my prayers. God will never leave you - He cares so much about every one of us. He runs out to meet the prodigal son, sweeps the house to find the lost coin, leaves the 99 sheep to find the one that is lost and gets up in the middle of the night to give bread to someone who needs help. He is there for you George and He loves you more than you can ever understand! I do pray you will come through this and know God's presence with you.

Dear George - I am somewhat troubled for you that you feel deplete. With everything that is surging around us in the wider world - countless people are fighting to 'keep our heads above water'. I have found the years since 'covid' trying. But, in the next breath, coming to terms 'in God' with all that is perplexing has driven me closer to God. HE is our strength and refuge . HE is our rock and our fortress. HE is our safe 'hiding place'. And I have to affirm these Scriptures , and others like it, daily 'to keep my feet on the ground'. I am not being trite in trying to answer your question- where is God? In actual fact, He is where He has always been - right beside you. Ps 91 is my go-to Psalm. 'Those who dwell - make their permanent home - in the secret place of the Most High God SHALL remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty against whom NO foe can withstand. (Satan repelled). I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, the One on whom I lean on and rely on and in whom I confidently trust'. (Amp Bible) The Psalmist goes on to say 3 times, that the Lord will 'deliver' us.... from what troubles us. George, I am also feeling that you are depleted from everything that you do. I am glad that you have stepped back from the Council. Perhaps there are also other ways that you can 'fine tune' all that you are doing so as not to overdo things. God bless you and your family.

Dear George Thank you for willingness to expose your vulnerability. Not many are willing to do so.

Is it not true that the Bible faithfully tells us about this wilderness, all its terrors and grief. While the world is in complete denial?

I can see the end and review what Yah has brought me through. What surprises me is how the pain of the suffering has genuinely dissipated and I can rejoice at seeing how He brought me through. I can laugh at my immaturity and marvel at how He has transformed me.

He is a wonderful Father. I speak with Him everyday and I hear Him as I mediate on His words. He is always speaking. He is always doing. His commandments are the key to dialogue.
