Jesus Wants You To Know...

"Everyone likes to feel protected by someone who is bigger and stronger. I am bigger and stronger than any fear you’ll ever face. Sometimes you may feel as if you’re all alone and without anyone to look out for you - but you’re not! Talk to Me, reach out to Me, and I will reach out to you with My watchful, loving Presence."

"Trust God all the time. Tell him all your problems. God is our protection." - Psalm 62:8 - "Jesus Today for Kids" by Sarah Young

God Is Still There

This day, with all its awkward moments and unmet hopes, is not outside His plan. Sometimes what feels like rejection is simply redirection, and sometimes what feels like emptiness is actually space that He is preparing to fill.
Your hope was never meant to rest in circumstances unfolding exactly as you pictured. Because expectations will let you down. People will let you down. Your own strength will let you down. But God never will. Your hope is not in the story playing out the way you thought, it is in the Author Himself. He writes with a wisdom you cannot see yet, and His hand is steady even when your heart is not.
The Lord is with you in the moments when you feel alone. He is with you in the hallway when you walk quietly by yourself. He is with you when your heart aches with questions and when your prayers feel unfinished. You are not unseen. You are not forgotten. The One who formed you knows you by name and calls you His.
And here’s the promise, you do not walk this road in vain. God does not waste seasons. He does not waste tears. He does not waste the deep places where you struggle to understand. He weaves even those into something beautiful. Trust Him, not because trust feels easy, but because He has proven Himself faithful.
So hold on. Lift your eyes again. What you carry today will not crush you, because His hand is beneath you. What feels empty today may be the very place He chooses to pour His goodness tomorrow. The Lord is with you. He sees you. He knows you. And He will not let this season be wasted.

God Is With You Always - Even In Your Mess

Next time doubt weighs heavy on your heart, when you feel like you don’t belong, when you feel like you’re drowning in your own skin, ask yourself, Is this from God? Because if it’s making you question your worth, if it’s feeding your fear, it’s not His voice.

God doesn’t whisper insecurity. He doesn’t drown you in the lies of “not enough.” That voice telling you you’re too weak, too broken, too flawed, that’s the enemy trying to keep you small. He wants to keep you questioning, keep you stuck in the endless loop of doubt. If he can make you question your worth, he can keep you from stepping into what God has for you.

But listen. God called you. Not because you’ve got it all together. Not because you have it all figured out. But because He’s been with you in your mess, and He knows you can handle what’s coming next. He sees it all. Even when you can’t see past your own fear, He sees you. He chose you, with all your brokenness, for something far bigger than your anxiety or your shame.

So when doubt tries to bury you, don’t sit with it. Fight back. Tell it, You don’t own me anymore. Stand in the truth: You are chosen. You are loved. You are equipped. You are enough. Not because you’ve earned it. Not because you can do it on your own. But because He called you. And when He calls, He equips.

You weren’t made to live in the shadows of fear. You were made to walk in the light, boldly, even when your knees are shaking, even when the weight of the world is crushing you. There comes a point where the life you’ve built suffocates you. You can feel it in the ache in your chest, in the late nights where silence screams. You know this isn’t it, but the fear of letting go feels suffocating too.

Sometimes you have to let go to finally breathe. You’re not meant to stay stuck in that small, safe place you’ve built out of fear. God’s calling you to step outside, into the unknown, into the wild life He has for you. It won’t be easy. It won’t be neat. But it will be real. It will be everything you were meant for. - Ellie Mont
