DAY 1 OF 5

God Is with You

Many of us battle negative thinking or wrestle with anxiety. We don’t know what we’ll face from a roommate, friend, spouse, boyfriend, or colleague. Some days we think, I’m going to sink under all this pressure!

I want to tell you that you will be stronger on the other side of this tough time. You will be able to hold the hand of those who come after you. You will find fresh determination from this season. And you will know God in a new way.

The Bible gives us story after story of how God showed up for people who felt overwhelmed and unprepared. When Joshua took over the leadership of Israel after Moses died, God told him, “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

To the Israelites taken captive and forced to live in the Babylonian empire far from their homeland, who surely felt unprepared and confused about their new life, God said, “I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen” (Jeremiah 29:11-12).

When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, she felt confused and disturbed about how her life was changing, but the angel said, “Do not be afraid” (Luke 1:30).

When Jesus ascended, leaving the disciples to carry out his work on earth with the Holy Spirit, he reassured them, “Be sure of this I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

I give the same message to you today. God is with you.

God is with you.

He’s with you on your good days and your bad days. He’s with you when you have it all together and when you feel like you’re about to lose your mind. He is there to bring you peace, grace, strength, and hope. No matter what battle you’re currently facing or will face in the future, God’s promise through his Son Jesus is just as relevant to your life today as it was yesterday. I think sometimes we forget about the hope of the world: Jesus is here with us now. Even in the pressure.

God, you are with me! Help me to know this truth today. Amen.
