I Am With You Always - Taking Care of You

I AM IMMANUEL—GOD WITH YOU—AND I am enough!

When things in your life are flowing smoothly, it is easy to trust in My sufficiency.

However, when you encounter rough patches—one after another after another—you may sometimes feel that My provision is inadequate.

This is when your mind tends to go into high gear: obsessing about ways to make things better.

There is nothing wrong with seeking solutions, but problem-solving can turn into an addiction: your mind spinning with so many plans and possibilities that you become confused and exhausted.

To protect yourself from this mental exhaustion, you need to remind yourself that I am with you always, taking care of you.

It is possible to rejoice in Me—to proclaim My sufficiency—even during the most difficult times.

This is a supernatural work, empowered by My Spirit who lives in you.

It is also a decision that you make—day by day and moment by moment.

Choose to be joyful in Me, your Savior, for I am indeed enough!

"She will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,"which is translated, "God with us."
—Matthew 1: 21–23 NKJV "

"Go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
—Matthew 28: 20

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior."
—Habakkuk 3: 17–18
