What can you do when your world feels bigger than you can handle?
Where do you go when you don’t know where to go?
Who do you turn to when the ground beneath your feet starts to shake and break apart?
What do you do when you don’t know what to do?
You turn to the Lord, his word, and his strength.
Jesus, tells us in John 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”
In Isaiah, 43:2, the Lord reminds us of his sovereign covering. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”
Only to hear in Psalm 23:4, that we need not fear our journey for the Lord goes with us. “Even though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalm 34:18 ESV “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Romans 15:4 ESV “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.”
Philippians 4:6 ESV “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God.”
John 16:33 ESV “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Isaiah 41:10 ESV “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Our world is in chaos and uncertainty seems to be today’s ruler. Life seems to be revolving at a breakneck speed causing things to crack and fall apart.
There are so many lost and confused souls wandering the streets, living past poverty and hope seems to be only a word in the dictionary. I pray for the invisible because I know Lord they are not invisible to you.
Lord, you are so needed down here, yet so many despise you without truly knowing you, they rally against you and seem to find pleasure in ushering in more darkness.
I thank you, Lord, for knowing those who love you, need you, trust and follow you. Thank you for your balm of loving words on our troubled hearts. Thank you for always being right beside us, helping us, leading us, providing for us, and protecting us. In your glorious name Lord Jesus, we find peace. Amen 😌❤️
