Day 28

Listen to Today’s Reading:

Have you ever had a sad or down day? Maybe you’re in the middle of a stretch of sad days and you’re struggling. I know what it feels like to be discouraged. Sometimes I feel this way when I’ve messed up or failed in some way and the feeling of sadness is out of my control. The truth is that difficult and painful things are a part of this world, and it can be hard to find our way through.

Today’s Passage: Isaiah 41:10    

So do not fear, for I am with you;

    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Reflect: I love this verse because it reminds me that God is with me. He’s with me in the sadness and the hard times. He is willing to lend me his strength, and he’s strong enough to lift me up and hold me in safety. He will help me.

Pray: So if you’re struggling today, get quiet and tell God about it. Ask him to help you. Ask for his strength to weather through. Remember that you are not alone.
