Who are you waiting for?
Lord, have mercy on us;
for we put our hope in you!
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation in times of trouble.
- Isaiah 33:2
When we go through difficult and distressing times, we long for someone to reach out a hand and lighten our burden. But in reality, no human being can relieve all anguish or satisfy all the desires of another person. All human beings are imperfect, we have weaknesses and we fail.
God is the only one who can truly understand us and reach the depths of our hearts. Only He can bring peace in the midst of life’s storms and fulfill our deepest desires. You can trust Him completely to help you endure and persevere through distress. He can bring peace to your heart and heal the wounds caused by disappointment and pain.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
- Psalm 73:25–26
When you feel like you’re fainting and can’t take it anymore, God can give you new strength and encouragement. Tell Him how you feel and open your heart to receive His comfort and renewal.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
- Psalm 147:3
Today, bring your anxieties, desires, and worries to the Lord and wait on Him. He will come to your aid, heal you, and strengthen you!

Come what may, do not stop obeying!
To Obey is to Love. A good father or mother requires obedience because they know that their instructions and commandments bring blessing and safety to their children. God is the perfect Father; He knows what is best for each one of us. If we listen to His word and obey, we show that we love Him and will be truly happy.
Many things will try to draw you away from obedience and from the blessing the Lord has for you. It’s not always easy, but if we ask, He helps us endure the pressures of the world.
If you love me, keep my commands.
- John 14:15
By saying “If you love me,” Jesus highlights the importance of love as the foundation of a relationship with Him. This love goes beyond a superficial feeling; it is a deep and active commitment. True love for Christ is manifested in obedience to His commandments. Obedience is not an authoritarian imposition, but a voluntary and loving response to the Lord.
Therefore, the message of this verse resounds as a call to action, inviting believers to express their love through obedience, thus building a meaningful relationship with the Savior who is worthy of all love and devotion.
The commandments of Jesus are not mere rules, but guidance that reflects His love, wisdom, and will for our lives. By obeying, Christians demonstrate trust in the sovereignty of Christ and commit to a path of righteousness and holiness. To obey is more than following rules, it is to love God.
Will you give in, or choose to obey?

No problem will separate you from the love of God
God loves you. Maybe you have heard this phrase hundreds of times, but we should never grow tired of hearing the truth. God loves us with an everlasting love, and His love endures through any adversity.
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
- Jeremiah 31:3
Just as God reaffirmed His love for the people of Israel through the prophet Jeremiah, He wants you to never forget that His love is eternal.
However, there are moments when certain circumstances in life can lead us to forget this simple fact: if we are in Christ, nothing can separate us from that great love God has for us. In those moments, remember what the following verses say.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 8:38–39
Is there an illness trying to make you forget this reality? Do you have a family, work, or financial problem that tries to keep you from feeling God’s love for you? Hold on to God! Come to Him with an open heart and ask Him to renew you in His love. He will never stop loving you. Draw near to Him to feel His presence and His love again.
There is no problem you face in this life that is great enough to separate you from the love of God. Do you trust in this?
