Psalm 31:24 NKJV
Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
Life can feel overwhelming. Some days, it feels like the weight of our struggles is too much to carry. Fear, disappointment, and uncertainty can drain our strength. Yet, amid all the chaos, God speaks a powerful word of encouragement to us: be strong, take heart.
This strength does not come from within ourselves but it comes from our hope in the Lord. When we trust in Him, we are never alone in our battles. His presence upholds us, His promises sustain us, and His love gives us the courage to keep going.
Waiting on God isn’t always easy. At times, we don’t see immediate answers to our prayers. But to hope in the Lord means trusting that He is working, even in the waiting. His timing is perfect, His plans are for our good, and He will never abandon those who put their trust in Him.
If you find yourself weary today, take a moment to remember: your hope is in a faithful God. He sees your struggles, He knows your heart, and He will never fail you. So stand firm, take heart, and trust in Him. He is your strength.
Prayer: Lord, when I feel weakened by the trials of life, remind me that my strength comes from You. Help me to take heart and trust in Your unfailing love. Amen.
