    About this ebook

    Just when she is about to begin an exciting dream project, a womans professional and personal life is thrown into chaos. She finds herself separated from her family and from everything that was familiar and dear to her. It is a time when jobs are scarce. She has nowhere to live and feels isolated, depressed, and abandoned. Friends come to her aid to give emotional and material support, but she desperately needs to support herself.

    She has faith in God and prays for His help in her life. There are many promises of Gods help in the Holy Bible. Can she find the right promise? She searches diligently while she seeks employment, but she has to wait a long time for an answer. Does she ultimately find the key that unlocks the door to employment and to a better life?

      Preface

      Many people, during the course of their lives go through a difficult emotional experience. The event could change them—either for better or for worse—for the remainder of their lives.

      Some people carry the negative experience for a long time and constantly refer to the event wherever they are. Others learn from the difficulty, rise to a new level of consciousness, and move on to a new and more fulfilling life.

      The Holy Bible is filled with promises of God’s help in time of trouble and of His assurance that we can overcome any stumbling block we may encounter in our life’s path.

      In "God is a Present Help" the author tells of her experience in searching for God’s answer to a very distressing and negative life experience and of her delight in finding the right promise that brought her out of the pit of despair into a new and promising existence.

      Introduction:

      Divine Appointments and Divine Connections

      God is. I know that.

      The Holy Bible says He is our Refuge.

      He is our Strength.

      He is A Very Present Help in time of trouble.

      God permits certain unpleasant, disturbing and difficult situations to take place in our lives. I do not know why, but the Bible does say in 1 Peter 5: 10 ". . . after that ye have suffered a while . . ."2. That refers to you and me.

      Some Christian preachers say that God not only permits, but also ordains certain difficult and hard situations to occur in our lives.

      We read in the Bible in 1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you…3

      For most of my life I thought that verse applied only to great, powerful, well-known, Christian folk. The ones we read about
