The right words at the right time can carry so much power and weight, especially if we are going through a challenging time. We often think of the Bible as just a book telling us what to do and what not to do. It is so much more as it helps tell the story of how God loves and cares for people in both the good and the hard moments of their lives. Taking the time to read about how God showed up for others can encourage and help you.

Connecting to the experiences of people who felt the same sorts of things you have—loneliness, fear, anxiety, uncertainty—can be really helpful in your own faith journey. Scripture includes these experiences of people to remind us we aren’t alone. God can handle your emotions and may have something in the words of the Bible to encourage you. Today, write down a few words describing how you feel, and then pray to God sharing why you feel that way.
