1 - READ THE WORD
Overcoming Adversity Daily by Faith
At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.
2 Timothy 4:16-17

2 - Reflect
It is perfectly normal that sometimes, for various reasons, we feel abandoned and also betrayed in our life, but it is also true that we must stand firm in our convictions when something like that happens to us, since the positions we take, or the decisions we lean towards are sustained in the justice of the Lord as well as in his sacred word, we know that we will count on his protection and guidance on our side, at the same time that his care will be of vital importance to overcome the obstacles that are presented to us.
In such cases, it is essential to remember that if the Lord is for us, he will strengthen us in the moments in which we go through different difficulties and dangers. Let us not forget that as human beings, we will always be exposed to moments of loneliness.
However, if we firmly prevail in our faith and trust in the Lord, in such difficulties we will be able to experience the absolute power of his omnipresent and eternal nature. In walking God's path we will never be alone. He is the only one who can accompany us at all times and for all purposes of good.
