Dear friends, in times of trouble and uncertainty, it can be so easy to let fear and anxiety take hold. We look around at the challenges before us and worry that we’ll never make it through. But as believers, we can find peace in the powerful promise that God will take care of us.
No matter what storms we face in life – sickness, job loss, heartbreak – our God is greater. He knows our needs even before we ask. And He promises to work all things together for our good. Not necessarily the good we expect, but the highest good, to make us more like Jesus.
God’s care provides exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. He gives us strength to make it through difficult valleys. He reminds us we’re never alone. Even in the darkest nights, He is there as an ever-present help.
So dear friends, let us cast our cares upon the Lord. Surrender control to the One who holds our future. Our job is to trust. The God who parted the Red Sea before Moses, who shut the lion’s mouth for Daniel, who met Paul on the Damascus road – He promises to take care of you. Rest in His presence today. You are safe in His hands.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation”
