Devotion 10/14, The Lord Holds and Sustains You!
The steps of a good and righteous man are directed and established by the LORD, And He delights in his way and blesses his path.
Psalm 37:23
God has given us the counsel of the whole Bible to guide, bless and teach us — but it is also helpful to know some key verses for encouragement and prayer in hard moments. Here are some examples:
When you feel alone, you can pray Deuteronomy 31:6.
When you feel fearful, you can pray Isaiah 41:10.
When you are in danger, you can pray Psalm 91.
When you have sinned, you can pray Psalm 51.
When you need courage, you can pray Joshua 1:9.
When you are seeking peace, you can pray Isaiah 26:3.
When you are heartbroken, you can pray Psalm 34:17-19.
God offers the safety and support you need to navigate whatever situation you’re facing.
Not only do we have steps we can follow, but God redirects our attention away from the pain of our problems and toward Him as our Protector and Provider. God orders and establishes our steps and guards us as we go.
Isn’t it wonderful to know that in times of stress, struggle or stumbling, the Lord still holds and sustains you? God is right there with you every step of the way as your ever-present Guide, helping you navigate everyday and emergency situations.
Dear God, thank You for directing our steps, holding and sustaining us every day of our lives. Let us turn to You, remembering that as we face challenges, we can seek solutions within Your living Word and loving arms. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
He will stand by you and never let you go!
