It’s so hard.
You want to do the right thing, things.
Your children are so precious and so in need of your care.
You ask yourself, “How can I do it?”
You don’t know the answers.
You’re scared.
You don't know what to do.
You don't know anyone you can depend on.
I know what you can depend on.
It’s what you have always relied on.
It’s the reason there has always been food on the table.
It’s the reason there has always been a roof over your head.
It’s the reason you have three beautiful children.
It’s the reason you have overcome every painful obstacle
this old world has put in your path.
It’s the reason you love so freely.
It’s the reason you’re loved so deeply.
You know it’s always been true.
God has promised “I will be with you!”
You can depend on that.
You can depend on Him.
That’s why you are going to make it.
That’s why all of your needs will be met.
That’s why you will be able to take care of your children.
Listen and believe, as God whispers in your ear,
“I will be with you.”
