John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me.”
Lord, You know my propensity for anxiety and worry. You know my skill at armchair quarterbacking and second-guessing myself. Thank You for the blanket of love and support that You so graciously wrap me in daily. Thank You for gently, loving turning my face back to You when my focus shifts. Thank You for tirelessly reminding me that You are here, that You are with me. Help me never to forget that I am not alone.
Deut 31:8 The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
Lord, It is so easy to feel like an island in this life. Being self-reliant and self-sustaining are highly valued traits. But You made us to crave fellowship with each other as well. Gathering in Your name, encouraging one another, pointing each other to You, these things are tremendously important, too. Help me never forget to reach out to Your beloved children.
Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for hearing me and answering me when I cry out to You for wisdom, guidance, encouragement, grace. Help me never forget that You are with me. Help me never forget to encourage and uplift Your people. Help us to strengthen each other with Your words, Your grace, and Your love. Draw us closer to You. Amen.
Josh 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Have a blessed day.
Amen!
