No matter how big the mountain seems, remember that God is going before you and loves you more than you could ever know.
God gave us His Word, knowing how much it would help us in every season of our lives. We hope that these uplifting verses will bring you peace and refresh your spirit today.
1. Isaiah 46:4
Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and arry you I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
God thoughtfully crafted you—every single thing that makes you who you are was carefully chosen and knitted together by Him.
He knows exactly what you need before you need it, and He will sustain you in all that He has called you to do.
2. Exodus 15:2
The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

In all that you do, He will carry you.

8. Psalm 46:10
He says, "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
God's voice is a comfort to all who hear it. Sometimes all it takes to feel His presence is a few moments of silence and stillness.

He has already won.
We are so thankful for you. God has a beautiful plan for your life and will sustain you through every step of the journey.
