God Walks With Him

At prayer this morning, a younger man who is deeply troubled with a severe mental illness was sharing his thoughts about God’s intervention in his life.  He said that he believes that he has to be in charge of and in control of his own destiny.  God does not interfere, but this man himself has to make it happen.  He went on to add that God is within each of us, and we are in some way a part of God. 

I asked then if God walks with him on this journey to help and support him in some way, and he said yes reemphasizing that God is within us.  I could only say, “I rest my case.”
