May 15 Devotion - God's support and Encouragement

I searched the Bible for God’s promises for support and encouragement for the time I need it the most and found God telling me:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9  

The Lord is near to you because you have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.Psalm 34:17-20

My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9   

All things will work together for good for you because you love God, Romans 8:28

 Make sure to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. ” Philippians 4:7

أَلَمْ آمُرْكَ؟ إِذَنْ تَقَوَّ وَتَشَجَّعْ، لاَ تَرْهَبْ ولاَ تَجْزَعْ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مَعَكَ حَيْثُمَا تَتَوَجَّهُ». ﻳﺸﻮﻉ 1:9

فَقَالَ لِي: «نِعْمَتِي تَكْفِيكَ، لأَنَّ قُدْرَتِي تُكَمَّلُ فِي الضَّعْفِ!» فَأَنَا أَرْضَى بِأَنْ أَفْتَخِرَ مَسْرُوراً بِالضَّعَفَاتِ الَّتِي فِيَّ، لِكَيْ تُخَيِّمَ عَلَيَّ قُدْرَةُ الْمَسِيحِ. ﻛﻮﺭﻧﺜﻮﺱ ﺍﻟﺜﺎﻧﻴﺔ 12:9

 وَإِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللهَ يَجْعَلُ جَمِيعَ الأُمُورِ تَعْمَلُ مَعاً لأَجْلِ الْخَيْرِ لِمُحِبِّيهِ، الْمَدْعُوِّينَ بِحَسَبِ قَصْدِهِ. ﺭﻭﻣﻴﺔ 8:28

¹⁷ صَلُّوا افْرَحُوا عَلَى الدَّوَام دُونَ انْقِطَاعٍ؛

¹⁸ ارْفَعُوا الشُّكْرَ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ: فَهَذِهِ هِيَ مَشِيئَةُ اللهِ لَكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. ﺍﻻﻭﻝ ﺗﺴﺎﻟﻮﻧﻴﻜﻲ 5:16-18

وَسَلاَمُ اللهِ، الَّذِي تَعْجِزُ الْعُقُولُ عَنْ إِدْرَاكِهِ، يَحْرُسُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَفْكَارَكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. ﻓﻴﻠﻴﺒﻲ 4:7

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, I thank you for knowing every emotion I go through and for having an answer and support for me today. Strengthen me Lord to be of good courage and never dismayed. Thank You Lord that during my period of weakness Your strength is made perfect. Help me Lord to pray continuously. Thank You Father for Your deep, everlasting, and inseparable love for me and Your abundant blessings. Lord, I rejoice in the assurance that You are with me God wherever I am, that all things will work together for good for me, and that I will rejoice because Your peace God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus; in whose Holy Name I pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
