These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

[a] John 16:33 NU, M omit will
Are you facing troubles, fear and or doubt?
All you are required to do is believe and trust in Me, casting your cares to Me. I am asking you to trust that I have your life in My hands. I know it is hard to trust that My ways are always good and that where I lead you is safe, but I have made you a promise that I am trustworthy with your life. I am inviting you to come close, choosing Me as I have chosen you. Choose My peace over the fear you hold close and the chaos around you.
Choose Me to carry the heavy load of doubt that weighs you down and allow Me to shower you with My love and peace.
Activation: Does it feel like you are stuck somehow and maybe your faith isn’t like it used to be. Are you questioning where God is and if He is even listening? If you are able, pray this prayer: Father, I accept the invitation to come close to you. I recognize my need for you. Please take the heavy cares off my shoulders and pull away the things that steal my peace. Would you help my unbelief and teach me to trust your ways. Your word tells me that when I am weak you are strong. I choose to trust you with my life.Amen.
34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and He is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”[a])
37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
