There are bound to be times when it seems like God is not there with us or that He does not seem to care about the tough situations we're in... but when we think that then it means we don't understand God's nature. God is a good God, an everlasting God who is always by our side. Everything that happens is for our good and are things that God can help us overcome and succeed in.
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.
God gives us the strength and capability to complete things in His name even when it seems like it's not possible. We need hope and faith together to grasp and feel the Lord's love and providence in its widest and deepest state.
The Lord is the giver and deliverer of our faith.
Isaiah 41:9-10
I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
God called each Christ follower individually with a specific purpose for each. The Lord hand-picked from the bunch, knowing that You are going to be a son or daughter who will glorify the Lord in all things. If we fall short, God will not just let us go, but rather continue to pick us up and teach us a lesson from the experience. The Holy Spirit will continue to rule in your hearts and be our life guide.
The reminder: God is there in both good times and bad times, so rejoice that the Lord's presence will be a guide in all circumstances. We are called as children of Christ with a divine purpose, thus strive to live out a righteous life so that His will in you will be satisfied.
