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!

Yesterday's Word

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

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Talk to God

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
- Psalm 34:15

God longs for us to talk to Him, whether we are happy or sad, courageous or weary. Maybe you feel sad or discouraged today and don’t know how to overcome the heaviness in your heart. Perhaps an unexpected problem has arisen in your life and your spirit has fallen. The Bible guides you to bring your burdens to God:

Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
- Psalm 55:22

Or maybe you are joyful and content with your life’s circumstances. Perhaps right now you feel like the most blessed person in the world and have an unending desire to sing and dance. Lift up prayers of praise and thanksgiving!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
- 1 Chronicles 16:34

Whatever your mood may be at this moment, do not forget the One who loves you more than anyone else, God. Talk to Him; share your joys as well as your sorrows. Ask for guidance in the decisions you need to make. Give thanks for the good things in your life.

When you pray or talk with God, you can express your feelings, hear His voice, and feel His presence in the midst of whatever is happening to you. Don’t let this day end without taking a little time to talk with God.

Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
- Psalm 62:8
