God does not forsake us. God does not abandon us. God does not turn away from us. Neither does God cause our enemies to have victory over us. We have no enemies as our enemy is our neighbor and our friend. When we realize this, we will make a way for love and peace. This is true in all things and it is especially true at your deepest being. If we feel forsaken, abandoned, oppressed in our personal life then how will swords be turned into plowhsares? First we must believe that we have no need for swords before we can change them.
