In God, we have a Father, a Savior, a Friend, and a great Helper. God is whatever we need him to be in our lives. He’s the great I Am! Psalm 121 gives more reassurance of this truth as we go further into the verse:
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121)

Leaning on the promises of God makes us hopeful. Knowing that He keeps every promise to us gives much needed strength to keep going forward, no matter what situations come. Continually choosing to look forward brings joy!

God wants us to live each day as it comes, ultimately putting all confidence in His ability to care for us no matter what. There are numerous things in our lives that we are unable to change. Likewise, feeling apprehension about future happenings invites tons of issues to come into our lives, including anxiety, stress, and even depression. If you are experiencing any of these things, please know that these things are not of God and can all be overcome!
