Daily Faith Challenge
 

“The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.” - Psalm 145:14 (NLT) 

It doesn’t take much effort to think about and identify the toughest days we’ve faced. We quickly recall those deep needs and moments of anxiety. Typically, we do all we can to avoid revisiting those hardships, and rightfully so. They often define difficulty. 

But as we walk with Christ, even facing those moments, we find ourselves in a place of care and provision. We may not have realized it in the moment, or we may have been fully aware, but if we’re in Christ, we weren’t operating from our own power. We were never alone. 

Hard times can leave us feeling like we’re flying solo, but God has repeatedly promised us throughout His Word that He is faithful and true. He does not leave us. He doesn’t tell us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and fake it till we make it. When we have nothing left, we have everything we need in Him. 

Jesus showed us His compassion when He carried our sin on the cross and defeated the grave to bring us peace. In Him, we find the One who has the strength to carry our heaviest loads. We can rest under His strength. We can breathe easy because our hope is in Him. 

"When we have nothing left, we have everything we need in Him." 

Tip of the Day 

Gratitude is the right response when we feel pressed. Find five things today to thank God for in His mercy. 

Prayer 

Father, help me to remember Your good promises in the moment of my need. Help me to remember to rely on Your wisdom and strength. Guide me away from my own wisdom and into Yours. Give me faith to trust in You. In Jesus’ name, amen. 

Pause and Reflect: 

Reflecting on tough days and moments of anxiety, how does the assurance of God's care and provision bring comfort and hope, especially in times when it may feel like you're flying solo? 

How can you cultivate gratitude as a right response in challenging situations, acknowledging God's mercy and finding reasons to thank Him even amid difficulty? 

How does the realization that you have everything you need in Christ affect your approach to dealing with difficulties and relying on God's strength rather than your own?
