“But I’ve learned that the presence of a problem does not mean the absence of my God. Just because I’m facing a problem doesn’t mean God is gone. I have found He is even closer in our pain. Psalm 34:18 (NIV) reminds us, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God doesn’t promise to protect us from our problems. He promises His presence in the middle of our problems. He will be with you no matter what you’re facing.”
