Dear Reader,

As we go through the days of this devotional, let the truths from God’s Word settle into your mind and heart. Believe that He is there with you; trust in Him, rely on Him, pray to Him, and let Him reveal Himself to you. The deepest and most secure relationship of your life lies with God. So, no matter how close you feel to Him right now or how far away He might seem to be, open your heart to let Him show you the reality of how close He actually is.

Each bible verse has been chosen to help us see how faithful God is to us, and to help us see how valuable we are to Him. No matter what the world tells us, we are His masterpiece and have been created in His image. We have been made to do wonderful things, we just need to turn to Him and let Him show us the way.

If you feel lost, pray; if you are lonely, pray; if you are sad, pray; and when you are happy, pray. God wants all of us, in our good times and our bad. He wants our requests and our questions. He wants to be our constant companion and our friend as we live each and every day. If you feel like you have to handle things by yourself, know that you’re never alone and that God is right at your side. If you feel like you’re not enough, know that you are wonderfully made and fully equipped to do whatever God has for you. And if you feel like no one understands you, know that since He created you, He understands every single thing about you.

So as we begin this new 30 Days of Strength, let’s remember to hold our heads high, walk in confidence, trust in God and don’t let Him go. He will never let us down or disappoint us, because He chose us and loves us so so much!
