Have you ever felt that no one cared about you?

In Psalm, 142: 4-5 we find where David had reason to feel that way. “I looked on my right hand and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.”

David is writing about crying out to God. When we feel alone through prayer, we too can cry out to God for his help, guidance and direction. Remember God cares for us deeply.

Christian love and sympathy is extended to CL Moore and Scott and Melissa Moore in the loss of their great-grandson and grandson, Dakota Shane Cocke. Remember his parents, Michael, Courtney and sister, Lily.

Christian love and sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Betty Mitchell and Tom Wunch.
