Does God Really Have Your Back? Sonia D. Evans

People often use this phrase "God has your back" almost as a rhetoric. So much so that it sounds like the "I love you" at the end of every phone conversation and the "God bless you" when someone sneezes. It seems nice, but when the rubber meets the road, do we really have what it takes in the midst of trials and suffering to say with confidence that God has our back? Are we confident that we can affirm that statement or will we falter?

The writer experiences a sudden challenge toward the end of 2018 and asked herself the same question. It caused the writer to reflect on the incredible journey that God brought her through, from being Catholic to a born-again Christian.

From the dusty roads of India to the cobbled streets of Britain and on to America, where God made her dreams come true, she recounts the challenges and the faithfulness of God that affirmed to her that he had her back always.

The writer relives how she came to the USA as a single person with no family and no driver's license. Having made it as a nurse and recently as a nurse practitioner, she finds herself at the brink of yet another setback which she would like to think was a setup by the God who really had her back.

She invites you to go on the journey with her and to take courage and strength as you walk the road of faith into the unknown abyss where your faith will be tested and while your answers are still invisible. The writer gives you steps to use in the faith walk even as she practices them and goes through the challenge of waiting on God for the answer to the problem.
