"nevertheless the Lord stood with me and strengthened me"

In 2 Timothy Paul said, "At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge." WOW...i've often felt like no one would stand with me when i was making hard decisions and i have to confess, i'd pray it WOULD be laid to their charge! that's an amazing testimony Paul gives us, even though he was in prison about to be executed and NO ONE was there for him, he prayed for all the people NOT there for him!! he goes on to say "nevertheless the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me..." THAT's the key...only Christ will always stand with you, and only He can give you the strength to PRAY for the people who won't stand with you...
