Part 1: God Will Carry You

Today’s Big Faith Thought

No matter what you are facing, God will carry you through.

You might be walking through a storm right now—one where everything feels overwhelming, uncertain, or out of control. When life feels heavy and chaotic, it’s easy to wonder how you’ll make it through.

But here’s the promise you can hold onto: God is right beside you. He sees you, He knows what you’re facing, and He is not leaving you to handle it alone. When you don’t have the strength to keep going, God will carry you through the storm.

You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God is with you.

God’s Word for Your Journey

God’s Word reminds us that His presence never leaves us—even in the hardest moments.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Isaiah 43:2

God doesn’t promise that storms won’t come—but He promises to be with you through them. His strength carries you when yours runs out.

Let’s Talk About It

Use these questions to open up simple, meaningful conversations:

  • What feels hard or overwhelming right now?

  • How does it make you feel to know God is with you in the middle of it?

  • What is one small step of faith you can take today?

Prayer for Your Journey

Jesus,
Thank you for reminding me that You are always with me. Help me slow down, take a deep breath, and trust Your guiding hand. When things feel overwhelming, give me the courage to take one small step of faith, knowing You will carry me through.

Give me strength when I feel weak. Calm my mind when my thoughts feel loud. Help me trust You more each day and find peace in Your presence. I speak Your peace over my life today.
Amen.
