What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 (NKJV)
We often feel helpless and alone when faced with life’s obstacles. Paul’s question in Romans 8:31 provides much consolation and assurance. When we genuinely understand that God is for us, we are able to tackle difficulties head-on because we know that He is our source of strength and love.
If God is for us…
Consider the apostle Paul, who endured a lot of suffering, including imprisonment and persecution. Despite this, he writes this passage with assurance, grounded in the reality of God’s steadfast dedication to His people. God’s favor surpasses any difficulties that may come our way, not that we won’t encounter opposition.
Think for a moment about the things in your life that are currently overwhelming you. Is it anything personal, something in your relationship, or maybe a choice you have to make? After giving it a name, present it to God. Jot down or consider scriptural promises that serve as a reminder of God’s steadfastness.
Finding God in Darkness
Keep prayer warriors close because your determination is strengthened by the knowledge that there are people praying and supporting you. What can you can do today to demonstrate your faith in God’s presence? This could, for example, be asking for God’s help or just finding calm in God.
Keep this in mind as you go about your day: God is for you in your darkest moments. You are never alone, and the universe’s God is on your side, no matter what comes your way. Allow that truth to guide your actions and emotions. Enjoy God’s presence.
Prayer
Dear God, please enable me to sense Your support and presence, particularly during trying times.
