This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 NLT

God makes us aware of His presence. He helps us find STRENGTH from the power of His love. But often we choose to walk alone; weighted by worry of what’s to come.  Weary thoughts move us in the wrong direction and we forget to call on the One who created us to TRUST.     

JESUS brought light to the darkness and HOPE to a weary world of doubt. He knows how to prepare us for what will happen next. The world will never offer what He provides. But if we focus on the love of His faithfulness, He will guide us to the Father and carry burdens we don’t have to handle alone.    

God will silence distractions that rob our calm. He will reveal His will when the timing is right. He will lead us to a place of wholeness and open our hearts to understand the depth of His holiness. He will ALWAYS GUIDE and PROVIDE.

Frustration and fear will lead us away from the Father. But we will never be where God can't find us. He WILL lift us if we stumble and fall. HE is GOD!  We must keep stepping ahead and focus on what is GOOD. The joy of the LORD is our STRENGTH. Let us be prayerful and welcome His PEACE.   

Dear God, we’re so grateful to walk with Jesus! Fill us with courage as we journey ahead. Help us faithfully remember You already know where we will arrive. Humble our hearts, so we will surrender fear and remember we don’t walk alone. We will receive You with a heart of thanks and find HOPE for the future. We will welcome needed PEACE and never forget where STRENGTH comes from. Thank you, Lord! You love us through every day, in every way and we are grateful. Amen
