Surely, He is

"Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it." - Genesis 28:16

I do not understand
what God is showing me,
where God is leading me
as excruciating pain radiates

The Lord says
to let Him, His Presence
override everything
every experience
to concentrate, focus on Him
not on the current situation -
the pain
the depressed feelings
that overwhelm

Do not let situations
of any kind
draw you away from Me

Pray for awareness
of My Presence,
and know
My comfort
My love
My mercy
My protection
My shelter
My strength
My promises
My peace

Remember,
"I am with you
and will keep (protect) you
wherever you go,
and will bring you back
to this land." (Genesis 28:15abc)

Know - without any doubt or question
The Lord IS in this place.
In the midst of all,
He IS ...  surely He is.
