What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

- Romans 8:31 (NKJV)

It is vital that you grasp the weight of this verse.

When life is not going your way and things seem to be going wrong left and right, it can be easy to feel like God has abandoned or forgotten about you.

This couldn’t be farther from the truth!

The more you grasp the truth and believe in your heart that God is for you, fear and anxiety concerning the present and future have no hold on you. You will be able to face the hurdles and hardships of life with supernatural grace that He has bestowed upon you.

When the devil tries to intimidate you with lies, what-if disaster scenarios, doubt, confusion and panic, remind yourself you have the very Creator of the universe on your side.

No one can separate you from Him or His love.

If the King of the universe is on your side and you know how good and loving He is through your relationship with Him, why should you be afraid?

If the God who created the mountains, the skies, the creatures and all living things is for you, why would you fear the future? Why would you fear the devil and anything he tries to throw at you?

The troubles, trials and foes of life may be able to knock you down for a little while, but they will never be able to defeat you because of the One living inside you. You are a warrior!

The next time you feel far away and abandoned, tell yourself the truth: God is for you, God is with you, and God is living inside of you by His spirit. He holds your every moment as well as the entire world in His hands.

God has always loved you and always will. He approves of you because you belong to Him. God has your back. Tell yourself today, “God is for me, I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? What can the devil do? Nothing!”

“Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being for me. Help me to never doubt your faithfulness and love towards me. I know I can rest assured knowing you hold my every moment. Help me to remind myself of the truth whenever the enemy tries to lie to me. Amen.”

With Love,
