Why is God allowing
this? Why hasn’t He delivered us from this yet? I’ve prayed and prayed.

The Awesome Blessing of Being Hemmed in By God's Love
You hem me in, behind and before… Psalm 139:5
What It Means To Be Hemmed In By God's Love
When God hem’s us in it is literally to be surrounded by the Lord, our fortress and our defense. Spurgeon explains, “As though we were caught in an ambush, or besieged by an army which has wholly beleaguered the city walls, we are surrounded by the Lord. God has set us where we be, and beset us wherever we be. Behind us there is God recording our sins, or in grace blotting out the remembrance of them; and before us there is God foreknowing all our deeds, and providing for all our wants.”
