Remember God knows right where you are. 1 Kings 17: 9 Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” (NIV) Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. (NIV) 2. Give Jesus your last meal. Psalm 71:1–5 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. 2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me. 3 Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. 5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth. (NIV) 3. Keep obeying God’s word. 1 Kings 17:13-15 13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’ ” 15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. (NIV) Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (NIV) 4. God will give you grace for every season. 1 Kings 17:15-16 She went away and did as Elijah had told her.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 12:7–9 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (NIV) Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV)
