The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring thou me out of my distresses. Psalm 25:17

Through the darkest days, God walks beside me and will never leave me. His presence comforts me and gives me the courage to keep going no matter what the circumstances are. Through the darkest days, God walks beside us.
