IT’S GOING TO BE OK
There are seasons when the heart feels tight, when the future looks uncertain, and the soul grows weary from carrying too much for too long. In moments like these, faith does not pretend everything is easy; it simply leans its full weight on Jesus. Peace is not found in having all the answers; it is found in trusting the One who already holds them.
The Word of God speaks directly to worried hearts. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and humble pleading, with thankful hearts, make your requests known to God; and the peace of God, which rises higher than human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). The promise is not that life will suddenly become simple, but that God will place His peace like a sentry over the inner life of those who trust Him.
Jesus Himself addressed troubled souls with steady compassion. “Do not allow your heart to be shaken or overwhelmed. You trust God; trust Me also” (John 14:1). He did not deny the coming hardship; He redirected the heart toward confidence. Faith is choosing to believe that Christ is still in control when fear is shouting for attention.
Even when the road ahead feels dark, the Shepherd has not stepped away. “The Lord is my shepherd; I will not be lacking. He gives me rest in places of nourishment and leads me beside calm waters. He renews my soul and guides me in righteous paths for the sake of His name. Even when I walk through the valley marked by death’s shadow, I will not fear harm, because You are with me” (Psalm 23:1-4). Valleys may surround us, but they do not rule us. His presence is greater than the darkness.
So take a breath. Not because everything is resolved, but because God remains faithful. Not because tomorrow is clear, but because Jesus never changes. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. The same Lord who brought you this far will carry you forward. In Him, truly and deeply, it is going to be ok.

Lord, steady our hearts when fear presses in. Teach us to rest in You and to trust Your care when the way feels uncertain. We place ourselves in Your hands today. Amen.
