Today's Word
The hand of God is upon you
Sometimes we can be surprised by bad news: earthquakes on one side, volcanoes on another, storms everywhere. We may feel that pressures come from all sides, not only in the physical realm but also in the spiritual realm. How good it is to know that the hand of God is always upon His people to take care of us and to help us!
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
- Psalm 46:1–3
Never forget that, whatever happens, you can take refuge in God. Whether they are physical or emotional storms, you can turn to God for encouragement and strength. God will not only help you, but will also work in your life and situation.
If today is one of those days when you feel that you won’t be able to face all your problems, remember that the powerful and loving hand of God is upon you. He cares for you and walks with you today and every day. Rest in that!
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
- Psalm 139:5
Rest in the Lord, enjoy His presence, and trust in His protection. He is faithful, He is with you, and He will not abandon you.

Face the challenges with Jesus by your side!
You don’t have to face difficulties alone. Jesus loves you and wants to be part of your life in every moment. Many times, when hardships come, we panic, not knowing what to do or where to turn. But God encourages us not to be afraid or terrified by life’s challenges. And do you know why? Because He Himself promises to be with us and to help us face whatever challenges arise.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
- Deuteronomy 31:6
In times of difficulty, doubt, fear, anxiety, and in every challenge, Jesus is present! Come to Him and ask for His help. Jesus never abandons those who trust in Him, even in the hardest moments. Don’t be troubled or lose sight of a way out of your problems. Believe that God is with you!
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.
- John 14:1
Pray, entrusting your difficulties to the Lord. God hears the sincere prayer of the afflicted. He grants victory to His people. Trust in Him with all your heart and receive His boundless peace!

People to help you
Life is a wonderful gift from God to each of us, and that’s why we must make the most of every second. There are moments when life becomes very difficult, but God never abandons you. He chose specific people to walk with you and help you, and it’s important that you learn to value them.
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
- Philippians 1:3–4
Do you remember a moment of pain or sadness in your life? Was there someone by your side encouraging and caring for you? Take a moment to thank God for that person and to pray for them. Perhaps right now that person is the one in need of encouragement and your prayers. Intercede before God on their behalf.
Sometimes other people don’t realize how much they’ve impacted our lives. If possible, express your gratitude to someone who was special to you during a time of anguish or sadness. Let them know how their attitude, word, or smile helped you in difficult moments. Today, be an encouragement and a blessing to the one who helped you in specific moments.
Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.
- Philemon 1:7
