Lesson Introduction:
John 16:33 forewarned us that we will face challenges in the world but assures that at the end of it all, victory is certain because God is with us – Hebrews 13:5. God gives us strength and support physically and mentally during challenging situations.
We therefore need to cast our cares and troubles on the Lord, because He cares for us – I Peter 5:7. When we cast all upon Him in times of illness, financial challenges, uncertainty, He will see us through and it will end in praise in Jesus name.

God is the present help. He showed up for Daniel (Dan. 6:22), the widow of Zarephath (I Kings 17:7-15), Hagar and Ishmael, (Genesis 21:17-18), He will definitely show up for you too.
