When we are in trouble, God is always ready and willing to help us. We don't have to try to get Him to help us because that's what good fathers do for their children. Good parents are always there for their children when they need them, no matter what.

As children grow up, parents make sacrifices to help their children when they are in need. I think that every good parent who reads this devotional will feel the same way.

God is like a loving parent in many ways, but He is also all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful, and the most loving and best Father in the universe. Psalm 91 is full of promises that God will protect us and be there for us when we need help.

If you need help right now, ask God for it. He wants you to call on Him because He is ready, willing, and able to help and aid you! That's what good fathers do.

Prayer:

Thank you, Father, for always being there for me when I need you. Please help me remember that today, as I go about my way. You notice every little thing, and You are always ready, willing, and able to help me when I need it.

I pray that I will have the childlike faith to come into Your throne room and ask for help whenever I need it.

I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Over the years, Proverbs 3:5-6 has meant a lot to me personally. The great news for someone like me, who sometimes relies on his own resources, is that I don't have to rely on my understanding to get through life.

The promise for today tells us to put our faith in the Lord and not in our ability to handle things. Strong's concordance says that the Hebrew word for "trust" in this passage is "batach." The word means to be confident or sure, be bold, confident, secure, sure, careless, to hope, to trust.

The more we believe that God cares about us, the more we can trust Him to guide us. We can let Him lead us wherever we go if we know for sure that He loves us and is good.

My prayer for all of us is that we would be more sure than ever that our God and Father is good and that we would trust Him a little more today than we did yesterday. In doing so, we may find that He is a faithful Father whom we can trust with everything we have!

Prayer:

Thank you, Father, for saying that You will help me in every part of my life. Please help me trust You more with every choice I have to make today. I can trust Your loving care completely because I know You have my best interests at heart.

You are my faithful Father who meets all my needs. Today, I choose not to rely on my understanding but to trust You with all my heart.

I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

God doesn't let us figure out life on our own. The Bible says that He is closer to us than we can even imagine. King David writes in Psalm 139 that God knows everything about us and is familiar with all our ways (Psalm 139:1–3). Today's promise says that God has promised to teach us how to go and show us the best way.

May the promise of our Father's gentle guidance give us peace and comfort today. We should know that we are not alone in this world. A loving Father who only wants what's best for us guides each step we take.

God is everything we need when we need Him. He is our father, brother, friend, healer, redeemer, and teacher. There are so many ways that the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) watches over us all the time that time and space would not be able to describe them all.

​Prayer

Thank You, Father, for promising to teach and guide me through every moment of my life. I hope that I will become more aware of the many ways that your Holy Spirit is already guiding me.

Please help me understand more deeply today that I am not alone on this journey because You have promised to lovingly guide me through the good and difficult days and that You only want what is best for me.

I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
