“If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37:23-29 NIV

God makes us aware of His presence. He speaks to our souls and leads us on a journey of faith. When we stumble and fall, He lifts us from doubt and places HOPE in our hearts.    

HOPE is a beautiful thing. It helps us continue to climb. It nurtures our decision to TRY even when it's hard. It gives us courage to remember Christ IS with us in EVERY step we take.    

Jesus lightens the load. He helps us surrender the weight of what we carry. The Bible says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” We are never alone when we face mountains that are difficult to climb.    

We don’t have to handle life on our own! God will help us discover the power of mercy and grace. He will help us witness the presence of His mighty love. He will prepare us to keep on going and set our feet on higher ground. We must TRUST His ability to guide and provide. There will never be a day without Him. God will take care of us and those we love. We must remain faithful and TRUST. 

Dear God, thank you for moving us in the right direction. Help us surrender what weighs us down when it's time to step closer to YOU. Let strength nurture HOPE as we walk where YOU want us to go and surrender our burdens. Help us welcome gratitude as we TRUST in YOU. Thank you for navigating our lives and giving us PEACE to remember YOU are so much BIGGER than the mountains of fear. Thank you for giving us courage to climb. Amen
