Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
That is the core of the solution, keeping in touch with God. He is always with us and even if we don’t pay attention sometimes. But He is there for us, always. He is our Heavenly Father, our Brother in Christ and we have His Spirit within us. But we have to chose to keep the contact going. We have to keep a permanent, continuous dialogue with the Lord. We know that in our weakness He is strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). We know that He loves us (John 3:16). We know God can overcome all things (1 John 5:4) and we are made in His image, a part of Him in us (Genesis 1:26-27). We know that He wants the best for us (Jeremiah 29:11). We must trust in all of that, and if we do we will rise again.
Holy Triune God, be with me and help me to live in this world regardless of what happens because I know that you are with me and will help me along the way. I Love you Lord, Amen
