Encouragement for Today

Sometimes we might be scared or discouraged, but because He is a good Father He has given us words to comfort us and to reassure us that He is here and He will help us. You can have confidence today in whatever you face because God is right beside you as you walk through it, and He will not abandon you there. Nothing scares Him, so if you need a little extra help finding that bravery or courage deep inside, call on Him and He will not fail you. Remember who you are and remember who you have at your side to help you in all things. And don’t forget to pray, a good Father loves to hear from His kids!
