Today : Confidence In God’s Help
TODAY’S VERSE
So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Have you ever said anything with confidence? It is different than saying “I think so,” “Perhaps,” “Maybe” or “We’ll see.” Confidence connotes a certainty, an assurance that what we believe is true. Because we believe in a God that will never forsake us, a heavenly Father who will never abandon us, we can have confidence that this same God is our helper, our strength, our shield, our shelter in the storm, our rock of ages, our mighty fortress, our protector, our hope, our Savior. Yes, we can say with confidence, “Today, I will not be afraid!”
TODAY’S PRAYER
Thank You, Mighty God, that You have chosen to be my helper. You have reached down to me and have assured me that You care, that You will always have my soul in Your hand. I thank You with a confidence in my heart that what You say is true and every thought, fear, apprehension and doubt that stands against this confidence is a lie. I accept Your help today. I will trust You and not be afraid. In Jesus’ name.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
I will not be afraid
Today we have options. We do not have to be afraid. Quiet yourself before God. Visualize God helping you as you say the following phrase, emphasizing the word in all caps. Say, “The LORD is my helper.” Feel His presence as you say it again, “The Lord is MY helper.” Sense the relief; let the actual peace come over you as you say it one more time, “The Lord is my HELPER.” Let yourself feel the absence of fear as you reaffirm, I will not be afraid.
