Nourishment of Encouragement

We often wish we could escape troubles — the pain of grief, loss, sorrow and failure, or even the small daily frustrations that constantly wear us down. God promises to be "close to the brokenhearted," to be our source of power, courage and wisdom, helping us through our problems. Sometimes he chooses to deliver us from those problems. When trouble strikes, don't get frustrated with God. Instead, admit that you need God's help and thank him for being by your side.
