Mornings With God

DAY 2 OF 5

God’s Comfort and Encouragement

In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].-Psalm 5:3 (AMP).

We all go through hard times, but the good news is that when we do, God is always present to comfort and encourage us. When times are tough, remember that they won’t last forever. God will not allow more to come on you than you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).

You don’t have to be afraid, no matter what you may face today, because God is with you, and He loves you deeply and unconditionally. You may not know how you can turn your situation around, but God does. He always has a good plan for you, and temporary problems don’t have the ability to cancel those plans.

What you are dealing with is temporary, but God is eternal, and He will never leave you or forsake you.

Confess: I will not fear because God is always with me (Isaiah 43:2).

Pray: Holy Spirit, You promised to be my Comforter in the middle of hard times and hurts, so please be my comfort right now (John 14:16). I can’t heal or comfort myself, but You can, so thank You in advance for Your patience, Your closeness, and for doing what no one else can do for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

To read: Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 30:5; Romans 15:13; Jeremiah 29:11
