God, you know me. You planned every intricate detail of my body, my soul, and my personality. And I love you for that.

Days have a way of blending into each other. The repetition of life dulls our senses until our world can become gray. But like refreshing rain, God gives us splashes of joy to color our world and to help us see with new eyes.

It’s inevitable. Rough waters will come. But the good news is that you are not navigating alone.

God renews our spirits even during the struggles. We can keep going in this life and look with anticipation to the next.

Psalm 23 recounts the wonderful truths of our comforting God.

God formed the earth, created everything in it, and knows every detail of His masterpiece. He is perfect and powerful, yet He wants to know you intimately. He wants you to call on Him, and He will be your protector. Your rescuer. Your refuge.

You are not alone. When you’re fighting an uphill battle and feel like you just can’t go on, God is with you.

Don’t put your trust in mere people, or in the things of this world that will fade away. The only place to put your trust is in the hands of the One who deserves it. He will never fail.

When the storms of life threaten to overwhelm you and hopelessness is all you know, there is One who can bring peace to troubled lives. Jesus spoke the winds and the waves into submission, and He can calm your storm too. Just ask Him.
