Good morning, friends, and Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway through the week already, and this morning I just want to remind you of something I need to remind myself of sometimes too. We don’t have to carry everything. I don’t know what kind of week you’ve had so far. Maybe things are going great. Maybe your plans have completely changed. Maybe you’re tired, worried about someone you love, waiting on an answer to prayer, or carrying something in your heart that nobody else even knows about. Whatever it is, God knows. And He is right there with you. 📖 Today’s Scripture “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 ESV Bible Translation - ESV English Standard Version.pdf I love those words, “very present.” Not far away. Not too busy. Not waiting for us to get everything figured out. Present. Right here. Right now. Sometimes I think we put so much pressure on ourselves to have all the answers, fix every problem, take care of everybody, and keep pushing no matter how tired we are. But God never asked us to do life without Him. So today, I’m choosing to slow down a little and remember where my strength really comes from. Maybe you need that reminder too. ❤️ 🙏 A Little Wednesday Challenge Before you get too far into your day, spend a few quiet minutes with God. Open your Bible and actually sit with His Word for a while. Thank Him for getting you through the first half of this week. Think about somebody who might need encouragement and reach out to them. And that thing you’ve been worrying about over and over again? Give it to God. 🙏 Let’s Pray Heavenly Father, thank You for another Wednesday and for bringing us this far through the week. Thank You for being with us in the good moments and the difficult ones. Lord, some of us are tired today. Some are worried. Some are waiting for answers. Some are hurting. Some are carrying burdens we haven’t told anyone about. Please remind us that we don’t have to carry those things alone.
