Life has a way of making us feel alone. We all have faced challenges in our lives where it seems like there is no hope, no way out. Satan, this life, and our circumstances will have you and me to think that we have been defeated. But there is good news today! We are safe and secure in the arms of Jesus!

     “Jesus Has Me” so I will not give in to despair. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 encourages us with, “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.”

     “Jesus Has Me” so I will not give in to discouragement. Just like the Lord encouraged Joshua, we too can be encouraged. God said in Joshua 1:9, “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” In addition to that, Paul encourages us in Romans 8:31 by saying, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

     “Jesus Has Me” so I will not give in to doubt. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”

    I believe that when you and I place our full confidence in Jesus, he will give us the faith, trust, and strength to stand!
