He Is Always With You

God is with us all the time, whether we realize it or not. He promises to always stand by our side no matter what. He will never leave us of forsake us. In the good times and the bad, he will be with us. We will never be alone because we always have him by our side as long as we believe in him.

He Will Renew Your Strength

Whenever you are feeling weak, either physically, mentally or spiritually, God will be with you and help you renew your strength. He heals the sick and wounded. Lean on him and ask him for help and he will be more than happy to help you. All you have to do is call on him.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” - Isaiah 40:31

He Has a Plan for You

God has a plan for all of us, even when we feel like our lives are falling apart, he is still faithful and still has a plan. Sometimes our life has to fall apart for better things to build. We may not understand the plan that he has, but he knows what he is doing and we have to trust him.

He Will Open Doors

God will bring us new opportunities, new people and new experiences into our lives. He will bring us new things that will help us grow to be the people that we are meant to be. He will close doors in our lives, but that just means that he will open new ones. Trust in his plan and that he will bring new opportunities.

He will give us the mental and physical strength that we need to get through. Take life day by day and lean on God for help.

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” - Philippians 4:13

We will be able to live with him in heaven where there is no pain, suffering, sadness or sin, as long as we commit our lives to him, believe in him and trust in his plan for us.
