Day 1
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10
I see the battles you fight in silence. I see the way your mind races at night, replaying moments you wish you could change, imagining futures that feel uncertain. I know how heavy that can feel.
But listen closely: I am with you. Not from a distance. Not when you “get it together.” I am right here — in the middle of your mess, your questions, your weariness.
You’ve believed the lie that you must carry this alone. That strength means silence. But real strength is found in surrender. Let Me be the one who holds you up when your knees shake. Let Me fill the spaces where fear has been living.
When everything inside you says, “I can’t do this anymore,” I whisper, “You don’t have to. I will.”
Don’t wait for the storm to pass to feel safe. Your safety is found in My presence, not in your circumstances.
Reflection Questions
What areas of your life feel the heaviest right now?
Where have you been trying to hold everything together without inviting God in?
What would change if you truly believed God is with you in this moment?
Prayer
God, I’m tired of pretending I’m fine. I need You here. I give You the weight I’ve been carrying alone. Strengthen me with Your presence. Amen.
