Life can be frantic at times and unexpected things can often throw us off course.  Moments like these can leave us feeling stressed and overrun.  As Christians though, we have the assurance of God’s presence and help no matter what we face.  We can truly rest on the promises of God!

Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

This verse has always been such an incredible encouragement to me in my own walk with God.  What really speaks to my heart powerfully is the reminder that God is our ever-present help.  He will never leave us, nor forsake us.  As a result, He is our steady and unwavering help at all times.  What an incredible assurance! No matter what we face in this world, our God is ALWAYS with us and will help us.

I’d just like to remind and encourage each one of us to truly rest on the promises of God.  This is always important, but especially when we’re going through tough times.  

Pray and ask God for a promise, then memorise it, write it down, and stick it up where you can see.  Keep the verse in your mind and when you start feeling overrun or you’re struggling through a tough time stand on that word and rest on God’s promises.

God has promised us that He will never leave us to struggle through this life alone (Hebrews 13:5).  What an incredible promise this is.  Let’s rest on the promises of God and trust Him to help us in every situation we face!
