I received this loving message from Father God on Thursday, July 30, 2026. We are all in good hands!
“Oh My child, Just as a parent grabs their child’s hand to lead them across a busy street or a rushing stream, I am reaching My hand out to you. As we head into troubled waters, you are safe in My care. When you are within My hand, you have access to all that I am. My peace, love, and yes, even My joy will keep you afloat when fear and anxiety try to pull you under. Remember I am surrounding whatever is surrounding you! Stay under the shadow of My wings, until the storm passes by. I love you, Adonai.”
There are so many verses that speak of God’s desire to comfort and protect us during trying times. He has seen ahead of everything we will face in this life and has already cleared a path to the other side.
Isaiah 41:13 – “For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.'”
Nehemiah 8:10 – “…Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Psalm 139:9-10 – “If I fly on the wings of the dawn and settle down on the western horizon, even there Your hand will lead me; Your right hand will hold on to me.”
Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Habakkuk 3:17–19 “Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines… yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; He makes my feet like the deer’s; He makes me tread on my high places.”
Psalm 23:4 – “Even when I walk through a valley of deep darkness, I will not be afraid because you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Romans 8:38–39 – “For I am convinced and continue to be convinced [beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Hebrews 13:5 – “…For God Himself has said, ‘I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless, nor forsake, nor let you down, nor relax My hold on you.’”
PRAYER:
Father, I gladly take hold of Your hand today and refuse to fear. I trust that You are guiding me with perfect love and will safely lead me through any storm. Your joy is my strength when I am tempted to grow weary. When waves are crashing all around me, let Your joy fill my heart with hope. Remind me that You are with me and that no storm, fear, or uncertainty can separate me from Your unwavering love. Enable me to walk through every season with confidence, knowing Your love is greater than anything I will face. I am never left alone or abandoned with You as my God. I am assured that Your constant support and firm grip on my life will never fail. I pray this prayer in Jesus’ name, AMEN!
The lyrics are written out below for a well known song God led me to use for this devotional. See Father God laying Himself down as a bridge over your troubled water~
“Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Written by Paul Simon
When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
