and sometimes just getting through the

0:21
powerless especially when the stress of
0:24
daily life weighs on our hearts but

on how we can invite God into every

1:58
our anxieties and our doubts into your
2:01
capable hands lead us Lord and teach us
2:04
to trust you more in jesus' name we pray
2:08
amen life can often feel like a
2:10
whirlwind with responsibilities pulling
2:13
us in every direction from the moment we
2:15
wake up the demands of work family and
2:18
our personal goals come rushing in it's
2:21
easy to lose sight of the fact that we
2:22
don't have to carry these burdens on our
2:24
own one of the greatest truths we can
2:26
hold on to is that God is with us not
2:29
just in the extraord moments but also in
2:31
the ordinary everyday details of life
2:34
when we start our day with God we invite
2:37
his presence into every part of it Psalm
2:39
461 reminds us God is our refuge in
2:42
strength and everpresent help and
2:45
trouble this verse is a powerful
2:47
reminder that God doesn't just show up
2:48
in times of Crisis he is with us at all
2:51
times we don't have to wait until we're
2:53
overwhelmed to seek his help we can
2:56
start our day by asking him to be with
2:58
us to guide our steps and to give us the
3:01
wisdom and strength we need but what
3:03
does it mean to truly have God With Us
3:05
during the day it means taking a moment
3:08
to pause and pray when we feel stressed
3:10
to offer up a quick prayer of gratitude
3:12
when something goes well and to remind
3:14
ourselves that his love surrounds us
3:16
even when things are tough when we
3:18
consciously make room for God in our day
3:20
we're saying but Lord I need you I can't
3:23
do this on my own and that's a beautiful
3:25
thing throughout the Bible we see
3:27
stories of God being present with his
3:29
people in the Old Testament God went
3:32
before the Israelites as a pillar of
3:34
cloud by day and a pillar of Fire by
3:36
night in the New Testament Jesus himself
3:39
promised and surely I Am With You Always
3:42
to the very end of the age Matthew 28:20
3:46
these promises aren't just for Biblical
3:47
times they are for us today no matter
3:50
where we are or what we're going through
3:53
God is right there with us so how can we
3:56
practice this presence of God throughout
4:00
it starts with setting aside a moment in
4:02
the morning to pray and invite God into
4:04
our day this doesn't have to be a long
4:07
drawn out prayer even a simple God be
4:10
with me today can be enough to shift our
4:12
mindset and prepare our hearts to sense
4:14
his guidance and peace as we go through
4:17
our day we can also make it a habit to
4:19
pause and acknowledge God in the little
4:21
moments when something worries us we can
4:24
take a deep breath and say Lord I give
4:26
this to you when we receive good news or
4:29
experience something Joyful We can say
4:32
thank you God these small prayers help
4:35
us stay connected to God and remind us
4:37
that we are not walking through life
4:39
alone as we continue to explore what it
4:42
means to have God With Us during our day
4:44
let's take a closer look at how his
4:46
presence can transform our experience no
4:48
matter what we might be facing life is
4:50
filled with unpredictable twists and
4:52
turns and while we may not have control
4:54
over every situation we do have control
4:56
over how we respond to them one of the
4:59
greatest Gifts of inviting God into our
5:01
day is the peace and guidance he
5:03
provides even in the most chaotic
5:05
moments let's be honest there are days
5:08
when stress and worry seem to take over
5:10
we might face unexpected challenges at
5:12
work struggles in our relationships or
5:14
just feel overwhelmed by the sheer
5:16
number of things we need to get done
5:19
it's easy to let anxiety creep in and
5:21
steal our joy but here's the beautiful
5:24
truth when we choose to acknowledge
5:26
God's presence we are reminded that we
5:29
don't have to carry these burdens alone
5:31
God Is With Us ready to take on our
5:33
worries and replace them with his peace
5:36
Philippians 446 through 7 offers a
5:38
powerful promise do not be anxious about
5:41
anything but in every situation by
5:44
prayer and petition with Thanksgiving
5:46
present your requests to God and the
5:49
peace of God which transcends all
5:52
understanding will guard your hearts and
5:54
your minds in Christ Jesus this peace
5:56
that God gives is not based on our
5:58
circumstances it's it's not something we
6:00
can create on our own it is a gift from
6:02
him when we feel our hearts racing with
6:05
worry we can turn to God in prayer and
6:07
let his peace wash over us so what does
6:11
this look like in practice imagine
6:13
you're about to walk into an important
6:15
meeting or have a tough conversation
6:17
with a friend or family member instead
6:19
of letting your mind spiral with anxiety
6:21
take a moment to breathe and say a
6:23
simple prayer God I need your peace
6:26
right now be with me in this moment by
6:29
doing this you're opening the door for
6:31
God to step in and guide you giving you
6:33
the courage and wisdom to face whatever
6:35
lies ahead another way to sense God's
6:38
presence throughout the day is to
6:40
intentionally look for signs of his
6:42
goodness sometimes in the midst of
6:44
busyness we Overlook the small blessings
6:46
that God places in our path it could be
6:49
a kind word from a colleague a moment of
6:51
laughter with a loved one or even just
6:53
the beauty of nature around us these
6:56
moments are reminders that God is with
6:58
us that he cares about our happiness and
7:01
well-being when we take time to notice
7:03
and appreciate these blessings we are
7:05
more aware of God's presence and it
7:07
helps us navigate our day with a heart
7:09
full of gratitude it's also important to
7:12
remember that God's presence doesn't
7:14
mean that our day will always go
7:15
perfectly there will still be challenges
7:18
and things may not always turn out the
7:19
way we hope but having God With Us
7:22
changes how we face those challenges
7:24
when we invite him into our struggles he
7:27
gives us the strength to persevere and
7:29
the wisdom to make the right choices
7:31
even when things don't go according to
7:32
our plans we can trust that God is
7:35
working all things for our good as
7:38
8:28 and we know that in all things God
7:41
works for the good of those who love him
7:43
who have been called according to his
7:45
purpose in moments of difficulty it's
7:48
helpful to remind ourselves of this
7:49
truth maybe you're dealing with a
7:51
situation that feels out of your control
7:54
it could be a health issue a financial
7:56
concern or a conflict in a relationship
7:59
whatever it is God Is Not distant or
8:02
unaware of your pain he is right there
8:04
with you offering Comfort guidance and
8:08
hope when you feel like you're at the
8:10
end of your strength remember that God's
8:12
strength is made perfect in your
8:14
weakness second Corinthians
8:16
12:9 you can lean on him and trust that
8:18
he will carry you through one practical
8:21
way to keep God at the Forefront of our
8:22
minds during the day is to use reminders
8:25
you might set a reminder on your phone
8:27
that pops up at various times simply
8:29
saying God is with you or you could
8:33
place a sticky note on your desk with a
8:34
Bible verse that encourages you these
8:37
little prompts can help bring our
8:38
thoughts back to the truth that God is
8:40
present and they can refocus our hearts
8:42
on him especially during stressful
8:45
moments as we move forward with this day
8:47
let's make it our goal to invite God
8:49
into every part of it when you're
8:51
feeling overwhelmed pause and ask for
8:53
his help when something good happens
8:56
take a moment to thank him when you
8:58
don't know what to do next seek his
9:00
guidance God is not just with us on
9:03
Sundays or during our quiet times he is
9:05
with us every single moment ready to
9:07
walk with us to comfort us and to fill
9:10
us with his Peace by practicing these
9:12
small daily acts of turning to God we
9:14
allow his presence to shape our
9:16
attitudes our decisions and our
9:18
interactions with others it's not always
9:21
easy and it requires intention and
9:23
practice but the more we do it the more
9:26
we will experience the profound
9:27
difference that God's presence can make
9:29
in our our lives so today let's take
9:32
that step let's choose to walk with God
9:34
to lean on him and to trust that he is
9:37
guiding us through every Twist and Turn
9:39
as we continue reflecting on what it
9:40
means to have God With Us throughout our
9:42
day it's crucial to recognize that God's
9:45
presence brings not just peace but also
9:48
guidance and a sense of purpose in the
9:50
busyness of our daily routines it's easy
9:53
to get caught up in a cycle of Simply
9:55
getting things done without stopping to
9:57
ask Lord what do you want from me today
10:01
but the beauty of Walking with God is
10:03
that he has a plan for each of our days
10:06
when we invite him into our daily life
10:08
we open ourselves up to his Direction
10:10
and The Unique opportunities he has in
10:12
store for us one of the most powerful
10:14
ways we can feel God's guidance is
10:16
through prayer taking time at the start
10:19
of our day to pray and ask for his
10:21
direction is like setting a compass for
10:23
our hearts Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us
10:27
with these words trust in the Lord with
10:29
all your heart and lean not on your own
10:31
understanding in all your ways submit to
10:33
him and he will make your path straight
10:36
this verse is a reminder that we don't
10:38
have to navigate life's twists and turns
10:40
on our own when we submit our plans our
10:43
worries and our desires to God he will
10:45
guide us in the right direction but
10:47
let's be honest sometimes it's hard to
10:49
know what God's guidance looks like in
10:51
our everyday situations we might wonder
10:54
is this really what God wants me to do
10:57
or how do I know if I'm making the right
11:00
choice these questions are normal and
11:02
they reflect a genuine desire to align
11:04
our lives with God's will the key is to
11:07
stay open to how God might be speaking
11:08
to us sometimes his guidance comes
11:11
through a sense of peace in our hearts a
11:13
verse from scripture that stands out or
11:15
even advice from a trusted friend other
11:18
times it may come through a quiet nudge
11:20
or conviction that we can't quite
11:22
explain in moments of uncertainty it's
11:25
helpful to pause and simply pray Lord
11:28
guide me show me the way you want me to
11:30
go when we make this our habit we begin
11:33
to recognize the ways in which God is
11:35
leading us it might not always be in
11:37
dramatic or obvious ways but when we
11:40
look back we often see how his hand was
11:42
at work in the decisions we made and the
11:44
paths we took another aspect of God
11:46
being with us during our day is that his
11:48
presence gives us strength to overcome
11:50
the challenges we Face life can be
11:53
demanding and there are times when we
11:54
feel worn out whether it's from work
11:57
family responsibilities or personal
11:59
struggles in these moments it's easy to
12:02
feel like we have to muster up our own
12:04
strength to keep going but God invites
12:06
us to lean on his strength instead of
12:08
our own Isaiah 40:31 says but those who
12:12
hope in the Lord will renew their
12:14
strength they will soar on wings like
12:16
eagles they will run and not grow weary
12:19
they will walk and not be faint This
12:21
Promise is not just for those who are
12:23
strong and capable it's for everyone
12:26
especially those who feel weak and
12:28
exhausted when we turn to God and say
12:30
Lord I need your strength today he meets
12:33
us in our weakness and renews our energy
12:35
his strength is made perfect in our
12:37
moments of need and it enables us to
12:39
keep moving forward even when the path
12:41
is difficult God's presence also changes
12:44
the way we interact with others
12:46
throughout our day when we are aware
12:49
that God is with us it influences how we
12:51
treat the people around us our family
12:54
friends co-workers and even strangers we
12:57
become more patient more compassionate
13:00
and more willing to extend Grace because
13:02
we are being filled with God's love
13:05
31214 urges us to clothe yourselves with
13:08
compassion kindness humility gentleness
13:12
and patience bear with each other and
13:15
forgive one another and over all these
13:17
virtues put on love which binds them all
13:20
together in perfect Unity by inviting
13:22
God into our day we allow him to work
13:25
through US using our words and actions
13:28
to reflect his love to others this might
13:31
look like offering a kind word to
13:32
someone who seems down taking an extra
13:35
moment to listen to a friend or
13:37
responding with Grace instead of
13:38
frustration when things don't go as
13:40
planned when we let God's love flow
13:43
through us it not only blesses others
13:45
but also brings a sense of joy and
13:47
fulfillment to our hearts having God
13:49
With Us doesn't mean that everything
13:51
will always go smoothly or that will
13:53
never face difficulties but it does mean
13:55
that we have a constant source of
13:57
strength wisdom and love to draw from it
14:00
means that no matter what comes our way
14:03
we have a firm foundation to stand on
14:05
and even in the midst of chaos we can
14:07
experience a peace that surpasses
14:09
understanding knowing that God is
14:11
walking with us every step of the
14:13
way so as we continue through this day
14:16
let's take intentional steps to welcome
14:18
God into every part of it when
14:21
challenges arise let's turn to him in
14:23
prayer and ask for his guidance when we
14:25
feel tired let's seek his strength and
14:28
when we interact with others let's allow
14:31
his love to flow through us God is Not
14:33
distant he is right here eager to be
14:36
involved in the details of Our Lives by
14:38
making room for him we not only find the
14:41
peace and direction we need but we also
14:43
experience the joy of a deeper
14:45
relationship with our loving father
14:47
today let's choose to walk hand inhand
14:50
with God trusting that he will guide us
14:52
support us and use us for his glory
14:55
let's Embrace each moment as an
14:57
opportunity to experience his presence
