No matter what challenges you face, know that you are not alone. As believers in Jesus the Christ, he dwells inside of our hearts. His love for us, never fails, and he is always there for us. Jesus, the treasure, lives inside of you and transforms you, as you experience his life changing presence.
Thank you Lord Jesus, for your love and dwelling inside of us! We want to know you more.
May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! (Ephesians 3:17-19 AMPC)

The Lord will never forget you. But he will remember you with great favor and great blessing! You’re always on Jehovah’s mind, he is mindful of you, to bless you, open his good treasures to you and do you good, not predicated on your performance but on HIS LOVE FOR YOU.
You are not forgotten. How could he forget you? You were in Jehovah’s foreknowledge, he knew you before you were born. He planned your life to be good, prosperous, and a great expected future. You are divinely thought of . . .His heart is tender towards yours. “You are unforgettable,” says Jehovah Sabaoth.

The bigger the battle that we face, the bigger the victory that we will see. When we face big problems and obstacles, we cannot depend on our own strength and ingenuity. We need to come to the end of ourselves and trust in God to give us victory. God-dependency and not self-dependency.
Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom,
but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men.
Our boast is in the Lord our God,
who makes us strong and gives us victory! (Psalm 20:7 TPT)

Have the changes that have occurred recently, in your life, caused concern? God is equipping you with all the tools and experience you will need in the new season in your life. It is no accident that you have gone through the fire and come out not smelling of smoke. The lessons that you learned will inspire others.
Nothing is ever wasted in your life. The times that you despaired and wanted to quit but did not, blazed a trail for others to follow. What you experienced has caused a greater reliance on the Lord. Your tests and trials cause you to understand independence from God is futile. He brings you into a broad place where blessings and equipping will come to you quickly. There is much for you to do with the Lord and he gives you more than you could imagine. Fully equipped, as his ambassador of love and hope.
Now may the God of peace—
who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,
and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—
may he equip you with all you need
for doing his will.
May he produce in you,
through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. (Hebrews 13:20-21 NLT)

Pray God’s goodness, over those who stress and fluster you. Pray that they be exposed to the goodness of the Lord. Pray their hearts overwhelmed, by the goodness of the Lord. Pray, the Holy Spirit, gently, leads them beside the calming quiet streams, of ever flowing Glory and draws them, into the Kingdom of God, by his effervescent loving kindness. This will lead them to repentance, to change their mind and their inner man, to accept God’s will.
THEREFORE YOU have no excuse or defense or justification, O man, whoever you are who judges and condemns another. For in posing as judge and passing sentence on another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge are habitually practicing the very same things [that you censure and denounce]. [But] we know that the judgment (adverse verdict, sentence) of God falls justly and in accordance with truth upon those who practice such things. And do you think or imagine, O man, when you judge and condemn those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment and elude His sentence and adverse verdict? Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God’s will)? (Romans 2:1-4 AMPC)

Make God Lord of your life and see the impossible become possible! Sarah conceived a baby, at age 90, and gave birth to a son, because nothing is impossible, with God!
What dreams do you have that have not been fulfilled? Nothing is too hard or too wonderful for the Lord, in your life, when you allow God to be Lord! Trust God, believe his Word and not your circumstances. Live by faith!
Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season [for her delivery] comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son. (Genesis 18:14 AMPC)
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me? (Jeremiah 32:7 AMPC)
But He said, What is impossible with men is possible with God. (Luke 18:27 AMPC)
