Today, I want to turn our attention away from our pain. Instead, let’s mediate on the goodness of God in the midst of our pain. One truth that always comforts me is that God is with me no matter what. As we enter into this Holy season, we’re reminded of Immanuel, God is with us. How would our lives be different if we reminded ourselves of this truth everyday?
Let the words of this song encourage you today.
“You Never Let Go” by Stellar Kart from the album Everything Is Different Now
Even though I walk
Through the valley
Of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught
In the middle
Of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light
That is coming
For the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end
To these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
I can see a light
That is coming
For the heart that holds on
And there will be an end
To these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You
Still I will praise You
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
You never let go of me
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
You never let go of me
Pause here and recall a time when God was faithful in your storm. Let those memories encourage you for today’s storm. Say a prayer thanking God for His promised Presence. Ask Him to give you eyes to see His hand guiding you.
Thank you for trusting me with your hurts. I don’t take your commitments lightly. I want you to know that I pray for each of you—trusting that God will blanket you with His Presence, comfort your heart, and heal your hurt. Hang in there friend. God loves you and so do I.

What a wonderful reminder that He does not let go of us. We are held securely in His strong and powerful arms. Would love your prayers for God’s wisdom and direction as my husband and I decide on treatment options tomorrow for my diagnosis of breast cancer. My chief aim is to bring Him glory and honor. God has a plan.
