The Lord has always encouraged His Own.
For those who recognize Him, the spiritual oasis is a place of answered prayer and release. Those who do not recognize Him can dash past the still waters and crash into the table set for them before their enemies. They have not been prepared in prayer and have not agreed with God.
Therefore, they do not see Him.
Have you asked the Lord to encourage you? Are you looking for Him?
Soldier of The Cross, you are in the service of the One who left Glory to become God and man, and die for you.
It was personal. That means He already saw you. He knew this would happen. And even though you did not feel prepared, He did prepare you.
Let me cross examine you:
Isn't it true that He allowed this situation?
Isn't it true that He is faithful?
Isn't it true that He said He would withhold no good thing?
Isn't it true that you have power to trust and obey because of the Indwelling Holy Spirit?
Why are you letting the enemy have your thoughts?
Ask Him to encourage you.
You have the privilege of boldly approaching the Throne of Grace. Ask to have your eyes opened. Ask to see the hidden things. Memorize Jeremiah 33:3 and offer it up in prayer.
Soldier, there is much to be done. There are many to rescue and Love must abound.
Let Him show you Himself and lift you out on to a higher plane.
You have decided to serve Him.
Do it.
