be strong and courageous

"Sit quietly with Me, letting all your fears and worries bubble up to the surface of your consciousness. There in the Light of My Presence, the bubbles pop and disappear... Say to yourself, 'Jesus will be with me then and there. With His help, I can cope!' Then come home to the present moment, where you can enjoy peace in My Presence." Jesus Calling

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble of them, for the LORD your God is the One who is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.

Most of our fears and worries are like bubbles--they have no substance. They will pop when we imagine Jesus being with us. Some of our fears and worries will become real, but Jesus has never failed us and He never will.

Today, let's be strong and courageous with Jesus by our side.
