13 Reasons To Keep GoingSample

GOD SEES YOU You never gotta be that lonely You never gotta get that alone All you gotta do is call me And I will never let you go -Rudimental, Never Let You Go She was one of the first women in recorded history who qualified for the #MeToo movement: a victim of human trafficking forced to have sex with her employer. While carrying the child that resulted from the encounter, she was abused by the man’s wife. Eventually, she ran away. Her name was Hagar and she was enslaved by Sarai, the wife of Abram – the father of the people of Israel. In her attempt to remove herself from a seemingly impossible situation, Hagar escaped and tried to go back home to Egypt. The Bible says “the angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert.” When asked what she was doing, she answered, “I’m running away from my mistress, Sarai.” The angel responded with a promise and a prophecy about Hagar’s child. After hearing it, Hagar said, “You are the God who sees me.” For possibly the first time in her life, Hagar realized that God was watching over her, that He knew about her situation, and that He cared enough about her to meet her in the desert. God sees you. Whether you’re being abused, mistreated, neglected, feel forgotten, feel like running away, have gotten stuck, are stranded, or just can’t find any meaning in your life, He sees you. And He has a future in store for you. God has promised: “Never will I leave you; never will I desert you” (Hebrews 13:5, NIrV). And He always keeps His promises. PRAYER: I want to run away from my problems. Will you meet me in this desolate place? I need You, God. I need Your presence. Keep Your promise.
