Daily Reading: Ezekiel 8-10 GW; Galatians 3 GW
God wants you to believe.
More than anything else, belief is what God wants most. Believe God exists, that He is real, and His promises are true. I know how hard believing is at times. Especially when the world around you is following apart, and you can’t control what is happening. God’s presence and consistency are what get us through those moments. Even though we feel out of sorts, God never does. God is always in control, His plan unfolding one day at a time.
Recently, my husband and I had the privilege of attending Lauren Daigle’s World Tour Concert. “You Say” is my go-to song when life is pressing in on me. When the world is winning and my belief is struggling, I play the words on repeat, listening until my faith strengthens.
You are loved!
“You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don’t belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe (I)
Oh, I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe”
Today’s picture is confetti that fell from the ceiling during the concert. Before Lauren sang “You Say,” letters written to her from listeners scrolled across the screen. The last one was a young man, sitting in his car, watching trucks driving on the road, wondering which one would kill him. As he began to put his foot on the pedal, “You Say” came on the radio and saved his life.
God is with you in your dark moments. He will provide a way for you. Trust what God’s promises say. Believe, just believe. All God wants is for you to believe.

Lord, thank You for always showing up. Forgive our unbelief; help us believe. For all those reading this today who are hurting, give them relief from their pain. Anyone who is struggling with heartache, Lord, save them. Reach down and comfort them in ways unique to them, let them not doubt what is happening. God, help us all believe without a doubt, You are real. You love us; Your promises are true. We need You, Lord. IJNIP. Amen
