*Topic: God’s Love is Already There*

_But even before I was born, God had chosen me. He was kind and had decided to show me his Son, so that I would announce his message to the Gentiles. Galatians 1:15_

Have you ever gone through a change that was so big that you didn’t know what to do? Have you ever felt so sad or alone, that you thought that everyone was against you?
In Ruth 1, Naomi felt like there was no hope. She was so sad from all of the loss she had gone through, that she felt that even the Lord was against her! But even through all of Naomi’s sadness, Ruth was faithful to her, and stayed by her side to comfort and encourage her.
When changes in your family leave you feeling without hope, who do you turn to for comfort? By God’s grace we are blessed to have people in our lives who will stay by our side. They can comfort our sadness and worries. You can talk to your parents, pastor, teachers, or friends. Even though it feels scary to talk about the things that worry you, the Lord has placed people in your life to help you get through the tough times. Even better, Jesus himself is your greatest comfort. Just like Ruth was faithful to Naomi and promised not to leave her, Jesus promises to remain with you. He knows all your fears and sadness. He promises to protect you and to walk alongside you wherever you are and whatever you go through even in the scariest of times. What an amazing friend we have in Jesus!

*Song*
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

*Prayer*
Lord, when change makes it feel like my life is turned upside down, let me remember that your love never changes, and that your plans are always good. Help me to seek safety through the people that you’ve placed in my life and through the comfort of your Word. Amen.
