No matter what life throws my way, I can trust in God’s strength to lift me up. My husband lost his job earlier this month. I know God uses these “valleys” to help us depend fully on Him. I also know to fully trust God instead of worrying about the future. It is easier to indulge in worry and food instead of leaning on Him.

Exodus 15:2 is, “The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise Him – my father’s God, and I will exalt him! (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). God gives me victory in all my battles, including the tough ones. He also gives me strength to fight and carry out my daily routine. God brings me wisdom so I know the next step to take. I would rather face trials and tough times with God by my side.
