"For why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, saying, “My way is hidden from God, and my God took away my judgment and departed?  "(Isaiah 40:27)

   When our negative feelings and our un-firm faith in the existence of God with us and showing us our rights controls us. We should remember how many times He stood by us and held us strong, and revealed our rights and placed in front of our eyes signs for our way. In this moment these negative feelings will be diminished and it will reject the devil’s efforts to make our faith weary toward God’s promise to His children that He will never leave us or dismay us.
