\"\"<\/p>\n

Do your days feel like a hike on an Appalachian Trail in winter? A struggle to place one foot in front of the other? If so, I urge you friend, hang on, hang on. Don\u2019t give up. Help is here. It may not come in the manner you requested or as quickly as you desire, but it will come.<\/p>\n

Assume that something good is going to happen. The door of tomorrow is unlocked from the inside. Just turn the knob and step out. The divine artist isn\u2019t finished. The earth is his studio. Every person on earth is one of his projects. Every event on earth is a part of his great mural. He is not finished. The scripture says in Philippians 1:6 (NCV), \u201cGod began doing a good work in you, and I\u2019m sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.\u201d Remember friend, you are never alone.<\/p>\n
