Many years ago, a woman from our church with various health issues struggled periodically with depression. I remember her husband sharing that there were times when she literally would reach heavenward and imagined herself holding God's hand. Isaiah 40:10 & 13, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand...For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'"
What a wonderful picture of taking God at His word and a promise that we can literally hold on to.
When God seems far away, remember this promise, reach out and grip the hand of God.
