Romans 8.35-39a

Life often makes us feel forgotten by God, especially when troubles pile up and prayers seem unanswered. Paul addresses this struggle in Romans 8:35-39, asking who can separate us from Christ's love. The answer is no one and nothing. Through the Holy Spirit dwelling within believers, God's presence is real and permanent. While we face tribulation, distress, persecution, and various challenges that make us feel like sheep to be slaughtered, these circumstances cannot break our connection to Christ. Our security depends on God's unwavering love for us, not our feelings or circumstances. In all these difficulties, we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us.
