You know, he’s right! The Bible says in the book of Proverbs, “People make their plans, but God directs their steps.”

The question is not how to avoid getting punched in the mouth by the world. It’s gonna happen! We all get knocked down by the struggles and challenges, and even the tragedies of life. The question for you is this: what resource do we have to deal with it?

God has a plan for you—a way forward. And it’s with Him. He knows that you will struggle and suffer, but He also says I am the way, the truth, and the life. Give Him your life today. Let Him carry you forward. He is strong—stronger than the challenges you're facing.

Always remember, there is hope with God. I’m Andrew Palau.

"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Or do you feel like God has pulled away from you because of something you’ve done?

You might feel far from God, but He isn’t far from you.

Ephesians 2 tells us that because of the work of God’s Son, Jesus, on the cross, we are brought near.

Jesus came and preached peace to us who are far and to us who are near. That word, peace, means wholeness.

Jesus reconciles us to God to bring us near. And it doesn’t depend on us; it depends on Him, and the work is done. If you feel far from God, why don’t you just turn your heart to Him today?

Say, “Jesus, I feel far. But I know you’ve done all that is needed for me to be near. Thank you, Lord. Forgive me. In the name of Jesus, amen.”

Always remember there is hope with God.

"He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near." Ephesians 2:17

It’s important. It’s from God. When it’s in control? That’s wonderful. But chasing fantasies?! That’s a trap and a recipe for disaster.

In Proverbs 28 it says this, “Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty. A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one who is eager to get rich will not go unpunished.”

Pop culture today tends to claim false routes to peace: self-forgiveness, manifesting… These are cheap imitations of truth, and they will destroy you.

Come instead, to God. He paid the penalty Himself and made the full payment on your behalf. And now, right now, He offers you new life.
