We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8).2 Corinthians 4:8 Who, Lord am I, that You, the God that created the universe, would even care to know my name, to even number the hairs of my head. Who am I, that you, God of the universe, would even care to know me, to feel my despair,my sorrow and take time to listen to my prayers and even wipe away my tears? Who Am I God?
