Never Alone

Differing factors contribute to dreams happening (Ecclesiastes 5:3); mine was a disturbing dream. I was afraid and tried calling out for help, but my voice was so faint, I thought no one could hear. Then I felt my husband’s hand on my arm, asking if I was okay. My cry in the night woke him; I wasn’t alone. My husband’s comforting words and nearness reminded me to be sensitive to people’s silent cries for help. Though we may not hear words or see tears, they need to know someone cares. God wants to minister to us and through us, telling or reminding others and us that He sees, hears, and loves.

David learned whether well-rested or weary, anxious, steady or overwhelmed, to trust God: “Trust in Him at all times ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us” (Psalm 62:8). God never needs waking—He doesn’t sleep and wants us to lean on Him and entrust Him with every care and burden. He hears us in day’s light and night’s darkness. Praise Him; God is nearby, the trustworthy haven.
