The Omnipresence, Omnipotence, and Omniscience of God:
In the midst of the physical pain, remember the whip, the crown of thorns, the agony of the cross. He knows--and is there by your side.
In the sorrow of the loved one lost, remember Him standing with Mary sobbing at His feet as the tears flowed from His eternal eyes. He knows--and is there by your side.
In the broken-heartedness of the betrayal and desertion by those we love, remember Him standing in the garden alone, the sheep scattering into the darkness, His plea for their safety. He knows--and is there by your side.
In the deep concern for the one who has gone astray and denied His Name, remember His prayers for Peter, His look of concern when the rooster crowed, and His seeking, finding, and restoring of Peter on the sands by the sea. He knows--and is there by your side.
When overwhelmed by the hunger of the poor, remember His compassion as He looked on the multitude--a flock without a Shepherd--until a small boy gave Him his loaves and fish and He satisfied them. He knows--and is there by your side.
When confused by your lack of understanding of His will, remember the multitude of times He sat with His disciples and kept patiently answering their questions knowing that the time would come when the Spirit would call to remembrance His teaching, and they would understand. He knows--and is there by your side.

Rejoice that He has chosen you to fellowship with Him in His suffering.
Weep with those who weep.
Focus on the heart needs of the sheep hiding in the darkness.
Pray with Him as you walk the sands of your beach eager to seek, eager to rejoice at the restoration.
Give Him your loaves and fish.
Keep knocking, keep seeking, keep asking.

"Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed. For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
"When through the deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress."
