“The message of `Never Left Me Alone’ is the message of my entire life,” Martin explains. “From experiencing no deaths to people dying all around me, God has never left me alone. I lost my oldest brother and my mom, but God never left me alone. I found out that I had the same kidney disease [focal segmental glomerulus sclerosis – FSGS) my brother died with, but God never left me alone! My kidneys failing and having to be on dialysis for five years, God never left me alone. Through every phase of my life, He has carried me when I couldn’t find the words to pray.”
