“The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth” (Psalm 145:18).

Scripture invites us to hide ourselves “in” our Heavenly Father when we are fearful, when we’re feeling the grips of sin, or when we’re under undue pressure. “You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah” (Psalm 32:7). The Lord is our reliable shelter. We find refuge in Him as a merciful and loving “Abba” Father. “God is our refuge and strength; always ready to help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

Wherever life takes you today—whatever trials or circumstances you face, good or bad— God is your Champion! He’s in your corner. He’s wiping the sweat from your brow and giving you the strength to endure the journey. HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! Trust Him! Give it to Him and let it go. To all who believe, His grace abounds!
