There is no situation where God’s power cannot help us. God has servants everywhere. There are "treasures hidden in the sand," and the Lord’s chosen ones shall partake of them. When the clouds obscure the mountains, they are just as real as when the sun shines; so too, God’s promises and His providence

remain unchanged, no matter the obscurity of our faith or the difficulties we face. There is hope, and hope is near, so let us be encouraged.

When we are at our lowest, let us trust with unwavering faith. Remember, that is the time when we can most glorify God through our faith.

Don’t let your zeal evaporate into just a mist of pious talk—let it flow in streams of practical goodness. Love the brothers and sisters of the One who loved you. If there’s someone struggling, someone who is lame or weak, help them for the sake of Jonathan’s

love, which surpassed the love of women. If there’s a poor, tried believer, weep with them and carry their burden for the sake of Him who wept for you and carried the painful burden of your sins.
