Greetings, Precious Family:
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Family, one thing I am deeply grateful for is the hope and strength we have in the Lord. Whenever something weighs heavily on my heart, the Holy Spirit has a way of sending reassurance right on time.
Recently, I found myself wrestling with uncertainty about which direction to take professionally. It stayed on my mind for weeks—I prayed, I waited, and I wondered. But right on time, the Holy Spirit brought confirmation. Not only did I know my prayers were heard, but I felt a deep assurance that everything was already being worked out on my behalf.
In that moment, peace replaced worry. I gave God praise, and I made the decision to release it from my hands.
And that’s when I was reminded of this truth in Joshua 1:9—God does not just comfort us, He commands us: be strong, be courageous, and do not be afraid. Why? Because He is with us wherever we go.
Family, tonight I encourage you to release what you’ve been holding onto so tightly. The answers you’ve been seeking, the direction you’ve been questioning, the doors you’ve been waiting on—place them back into God’s hands.
If He has spoken, that is enough. If He has given you peace, trust it. If He has told you not to worry, then worry no longer.
This is your reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out—you just have to trust the One who does.
So walk forward in strength. Stand firm in courage. And silence every voice of fear with the truth that God is with you—right now, in this moment, and in every step ahead.
Rest in that assurance tonight.
Scripture Passage of the Day
Joshua 1:9
New International Version
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank You for reminding me that I am never alone.
When fear tries to rise, anchor me in Your truth. When uncertainty surrounds me, strengthen my heart to trust You fully. Help me to walk in courage, not because I have all the answers, but because You are with me every step of the way.
Tonight, I release every worry into Your hands and rest in the peace of knowing You are already working it out. With a grateful heart, I lift this prayer to you, Lord Jesus. Lord in your mercy, hear my prayer.
And I let it be…And so it is…
Amen, Amen, and Amen
