With so many trials going on around the world and in our own lives, sometimes I fall into the trap of saying "why has God forsaken me?" Whenever I get into that mode, I recognize how desperate Satan is to get us to give into the notion of despair and grief. So, rather than wallow in depression, I get my scriptures and read the following verses.
They are the most wonderful and hopeful scripture verses I know of:
Romans 8:35-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In short, nothing can separate us from the love of God.

I love this thank you for sharing the scripture. It is amazing how we can really complicate things when the devil tries to get his hold and make us doubt that God will take care of us and yet God's word is so simple and clear and right there for us to read everyday!
