"The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he thought that the prisoners had escaped; so he pulled out his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul shouted at the top of his voice, “Don't harm yourself! We are all here!”

The jailer called for a light, rushed in, and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas. Then he led them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” "

(Acts 16.27-30 GNB)

Many times, life seems like an unbearable dead end. It feels as if it is better to end it.

But God does not abandon us. He is always there, waiting for us. If we would just surrender everything to him and let him comfort us, he always stands by our side.

Today or tomorrow may not be better instantly. It rarely works that way. But know that the God of the universe knows us by name and is cheering us to move forward.

Dear God,
when I face a dead end and cannot see beyond it
please open the eyes of my heart
to see you standing by my side
