I remember when I
was really small, going to some store with my mother – I remember it was on
Western somewhere between 63rd and Wilshire in Oklahoma City . The store seemed huge to me at the time and it had a bunch of aisles and as long as I was
holding my mother’s hand I was OK, but I remember getting separated from her and being really scared. I was
crying and didn’t know what to do – in actuality I was only one aisle over, but
I couldn’t see her and didn’t know where I was.
Never let go of
God’s hand – stay in His presence…
Isaiah 41:13… 13 For I, Yahweh your God, hold
your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you. (Isa 41:13 CSB)
God isn’t some
far away God that we cry out to and then wonder if He will even hear us – God
is always nearby –
Philippians
4:5b-6…. The Lord is near. 6 Don't worry about anything, but
in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known to God. (Phi 4:5-6 CSB)
It’s OK to pray
about anything that is on your mind…. Do it now, do it always.
The relationship
is worth the journey - and you won’t be alone.
Paul.

Hello Bro. Paul. I am a Pastor from Mumbai, India. I am glad to stop by your profile o n the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privileged and honoured to get connected with you as well as know your interset in the Good News (Gospel). Your post on Holding Hands With God is very encouraging post. I am blessed to go through it. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 39 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourge young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have young grown up children of yours to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. I AM SURE they will have a life changing experience. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede.
