Sometimes we struggle with feelings of insufficiency. Our insecurities make us withdraw from those who would encourage us. Our setbacks convince us we’ll never succeed. Looking at what others have achieved makes us feel comparatively unaccomplished.

“And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” (Deuteronomy 31:8 NKJV)

Look to God for joy, peace, and hope that will outdo your greatest pain, doubt and despair. No matter what we go through, God goes through it ahead of us and with us, so we are not alone.
