How comforting is it to know that the God of the universe hears you and cares about your well-being? When times are tough, you don’t have to go at it alone. In today’s message, Pastor Dave teaches you are able to go to God for help, and He’s always willing to listen. He’s willing to help you carry your burdens.

Reflecting on God as joy and seeking Him earnestly when everthing else is crashing down will give you a sense of peace that surpasses all understanding. Today, Pastor Dave teaches that God will never leave us in our time of need. We are his children, and He is a good father who wants to take care of us.  

Satan will take advantage of us any chance he gets. When we’re going through difficult times, the enemy will always try his best to fill our minds with lies and confusion in an effort to pull us away from God. Today, Pastor Dave teaches us the importance of thirsting for God and having total reliance on His strength.         

There is nothing that God can’t handle; there’s no burden too heavy for Him to carry. God’s Word tells us that His strength is found in our weakness, and through His strength we can do all things. Today, Pastor Dave teaches that God wants us to pour our hearts out to Him, allowing Him to pour back into us.             

Faith is an ongoing commitment to place our trust in God’s promises, allowing Him to be our help and our shield. It’s waiting and trusting in His perfect timing, even when circumstances are difficult and the weight feels overwhelming. Today, Pastor Dave teaches us that our faith must not be conditioned solely on answered prayers.           

Praying for others and those whom we care about is an important way to bear one another’s burdens. It’s an act of service that builds love and community while trusting in God’s power to heal and make new. Today, Pastor Dave teaches us the power of prayer while urging us to pray regularly for those we love!           

There is a sense of peace and hope when we cry out to the Lord. It’s a surrender that acknowledges the Lord’s divine nature and ability to overcome struggles that we can’t fix on our own. Today, Pastor Dave teaches us that when we open up our hearts to the Lord, He will always answer. Without judgment, moving only in love.

It can be difficult not to let our failures keep us from our Heavenly Father, afraid that our mess-ups make us unworthy of His love. Today, Pastor Dave teaches us that the trials we go through are meant to draw us closer to the Lord. Through each one, God is molding and shaping us into Jesus' likeness just as He intended.       

The Word tells us that Jesus is with us always, even to the end of the age. His presence is always there, always with us. He is never distant; rather, He is intimately involved in everything we do. Today, Pastor Dave teaches us that this truth is one that, as believers, we should lean into, being filled with comfort and hope.    

No one likes to wait. In the grocery store line or in traffic, waiting can be so frustrating. It feels like a waste of time. Yet today, Pastor Dave encourages you to wait. He tells you that sometimes, you must wait for the Lord to act rather than taking matters into your own hands. Waiting for Him is proof you trust Him.
