God Stands with You
No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.—Joshua 1:5 (ESV)
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides.—James 1:2 (MSG)
No matter what today holds or tomorrow brings, you can be confident and encouraged if you recognize difficulties help shape your faith. Each challenge and every problem draws you closer to God, and as you pray, you see His goodness in a new light.
Lord, I know in my heart that the difficult times are a necessary part of my faith journey and give me an opportunity to experience Your grace.

No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.—Joshua 1:5 (ESV)

Dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!—Jude 1:20–21 (MSG)

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.—Psalm 37:23 (NLT)
