Podcast appearances and mentions of faith over fear

Today's Bible Verse: "The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: 'Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us! Because all the Amorite kings from the hill country are fighting against us.'" — Joshua 10:6 What happens when our mistakes create difficult consequences we didn't expect? Joshua 10:6 shows the Gibeonites facing danger after making a deceptive agreement with Israel, yet Joshua responded to their need and came to their aid. This passage reminds us that even when our choices lead to complicated circumstances, God can still work through them, provide help, and guide us forward.

This week, I'm thinking about faith, fear, and what it means to give things to God. A client recently quit her job without another one lined up, leaving behind a situation where she felt stuck and poorly treated. She didn't know exactly what would come next, but she knew she needed to move toward something different.Is taking action without a complete plan foolish, or can it be an expression of faith? I explore the difference between believing in something we hope will happen and believing in something we hope won't happen. When the unknown feels terrifying, where do we put our energy: protecting ourselves from fear or moving toward faith?I'm inspired by people who step forward with confidence in themselves and in God, even when they can't see the whole path. Have faith, not fear.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Today's Bible Verse: "Then Joshua built on Mount Ebal an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel." — Joshua 8:30 Why do we drift from God, and how can we stay close to Him? Joshua 8:30 shows Joshua intentionally building an altar to the Lord after Israel's victory, turning their attention back to worship and obedience. Staying close to God requires intentional choices to remember Him, worship Him, and make Him the center of our lives—not only in times of trouble, but also after seasons of victory and success.

Send us Fan MailFear sells fast right now. Headlines stay hot, social feeds stay loud, and it's easy to confuse constant тревога with “being aware.” We take a different approach: we look at what Jesus Christ actually taught about the last days and why His repeated counsel is not panic, but steadiness. The world may be in commotion, but discipleship does not have to be.We talk through why prophecy is meant to produce preparation, not obsession. Using the story of Christ calming the storm, we ask the uncomfortable but freeing question: do we see the waves more clearly than we see the Savior? Faith is not pretending everything is fine; it is recognizing the storm and still trusting who is in the boat. We also unpack the promise “if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear” from the Doctrine and Covenants and what that preparation looks like beyond food storage and finances.From President Russell M. Nelson's invitations to become still and hear Christ, to the call to stand in holy places and stay on the covenant path, the focus stays practical. We break down three kinds of spiritual preparation: strengthening testimony, refining character, and deepening a real relationship with Christ. We also challenge the habits that feed fear, like doomscrolling and timeline obsession, and replace them with daily practices that invite personal revelation through prayer, scripture study, the temple, and quiet listening.If you want a clearer, calmer way to think about the second coming, the latter days, and faith over fear, press play.

Jesus came to show us the Father and to allow us, as sinners, to gain access to God. God loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to us. Most Christians understand the Gospel intellectually. We know we are not perfect, and we are in need of a Savior. But few Christians actually live in the overwhelming grace and love of God every day. When we do, all fear is gone. We have complete faith and trust in the One who loves us even more than we love ourselves. Jesus' heart beats for you. Choose faith over fear today because you are loved!

Faith Over Fear: What is Faith?

Today's Bible Verse: "So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land." — Joshua 6:27 How do you stay close to God after a crisis or major victory? Joshua 6:27 reminds us that the Lord remained with Joshua after the battle of Jericho, showing that God's presence wasn't only important during the crisis—it was essential afterward. When God brings us through difficult seasons, we can continue growing in faith by remembering His faithfulness, staying close to Him, and depending on His presence for whatever comes next.

Without faith it is impossible to please God

What should believers do when the foundations of society seem to be crumbling? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Psalm 11 and the prophet Isaiah for encouragement in seasons of anxiety, uncertainty, and change. Judah faced such a moment when King Uzziah died after more than five decades on the throne. The nation suddenly found itself asking, “What happens now?” Isaiah may have wondered the same thing. But in that very season of upheaval, God gave him a transforming vision: “I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne.” The message could not have been clearer. Earthly rulers change, nations shift, and circumstances become uncertain—but the true King never leaves His throne. That same Truth speaks powerfully to believers today. Our hope is not ultimately anchored in political stability, cultural strength, or human leadership. It rests in the changeless promises and sovereign rule of Almighty God. And we know even more than Isaiah did. Jesus Christ—the King who was mocked, crucified, and buried—rose victoriously from the grave and reigns today. Whatever uncertainty surrounds you, lift your eyes above the turmoil. Your King is alive, His throne is secure, and He can be trusted with whatever comes next. Let us pray. Lord Jesus, help me to trust You, resting in Your love and promises even when this world and my circumstances look bleak. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

1 Samuel 17 from our series, Heart Over Hype.

Jesus doesn't always work according to our expectations, but He is always faithful to God's plan. When doubts and questions come, bring them to Him and keep your faith rooted in who you are in Christ. Live with an open heart, reflecting Jesus in the way you live, and let His wisdom be evident through your actions.

Today's Bible Verse: "Joshua told the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.'" — Joshua 3:5 How do you trust God when the road ahead feels unclear? Joshua 3:5 reminds us that trusting God often means preparing our hearts before we can see what He is about to do. When the future feels uncertain and we don't know what comes next, we can choose faith, surrender our plans to God, and believe that He is working even when we can't see the outcome.

"Then they answered Joshua, 'Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.'" — Joshua 1:16–17 What does it look like to stand strong in faith when others are depending on you? Joshua 1:16–17 shows the Israelites responding to Joshua with a commitment to follow his leadership and trust God's presence. Their words remind us that faith isn't only about personal courage—it also means being willing to support others, obey God, and move forward together when the path ahead is uncertain.

In this episode, we hear from Joanne Claxton, wife and caregiver to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivor Adam Claxton. Adam was a guest in Season 20 and you can listen to his episode here. Joanne takes us back to Adam's diagnosis in 2024. He had a persistent cough and had visited his general practitioner several times. After being sent home with antibiotics, he went to the hospital's accident and emergency department. He was initially discharged but was soon called back and told to pack a bag. After an anxious wait, two hematology consultants told Joanne and Adam that he had AML. The news shocked their entire family. While Adam underwent chemotherapy, Joanne had to protect a sense of normality for their three children. She stopped working and took on the responsibilities of solo parenting while Adam remained in the hospital. When Adam relapsed in 2025, Joanne found the experience even more difficult than the original diagnosis. He had completed chemotherapy and a transplant and appeared to be recovering well. He had even been exercising the day before the relapse was discovered. Because he was home rather than hospitalized, the family lived with greater uncertainty. Joanne says this was the point when she hit rock bottom. After transplant, Adam developed chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease, or GVHD, affecting his skin. But Joanne and Adam view it as the price of continued protection against leukemia. This perspective does not remove the difficulty, but it helps them face the condition with hope. Their cancer experience also brought them closer. They had not planned to marry before Adam became ill, but his diagnosis changed their priorities. They married during the journey and developed a deeper understanding of one another. Joanne is honest about the delayed effects of caregiving. She experienced anxiety, vertigo, headaches, neck pain, and other physical signs of stress. She eventually reached out for help and learned that caring for herself was necessary. She no longer allows guilt to prevent her from taking time for herself. Peg asks Joanne what the hardest moment was - and her answer is striking. Joanne's main advice to caregivers is to surround themselves with supportive people, talk openly, accept help, and use available charities and caregiver networks. No matter how strong someone may be, caregiving should not be carried alone. Joanne also reminds friends and family to ask how the caregiver is doing. Ordinary conversations can provide relief when illness has consumed every part of life. Above all, Joanne and Adam live one day at a time and choose faith over fear.

Have you ever worried that you’ve disappointed God? Maybe you know intellectually that He loves you, yet past rejection, painful relationships or years of striving have made His delight difficult to experience. Bible teacher and Awaken Delight author Stephanie Rousselle shares how her own childhood wounds and performance-driven thinking created a disconnect between what she knew about God and what she could receive from Him. Jennifer and Stephanie discuss the difference between knowing God loves us and living as if that truth is real. They explore why our failures don't surprise God, how confession can deepen rather than threaten our connection with Him, and how receiving His forgiveness and delight can free us from shame and exhausting spiritual striving. Discover how God can bring His truth into our wounded places and teach us, over time, to rest more securely in His love.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Empower Hour with Lady J! Season 6 begins with a topic I know a little too well: analysis paralysis.The irony? I spent almost a year overthinking restarting this very podcast.First it was the background noise. Then life was falling apart. Then I needed to move. Then there was something else…and something else…and yada yada yada, blah blah blah. At some point, I had to recognize that the circumstances kept changing, but I was still standing in the same place.In this episode, I get honest about my own tendency to overanalyze and the fear, childhood experiences, self-doubt, and “what ifs” that can keep even strong, capable leaders stuck.We talk about:How overthinking can disguise itself as preparationWhy fear of failure and fear of judgment keep us from taking actionThe difference between failure, redirection, and misalignmentWhy some of the things I once called failures were actually preparationThe importance of accountability and self-awarenessHow our past experiences can influence the decisions we make todayReframing “What if it doesn't work?” into “What if it does?”Choosing faith over allowing fear to make our decisionsWhy taking one imperfect step can create more impact than endlessly analyzing every possible outcomeI also share lessons from my journey as an athlete, coach, entrepreneur, author, and leader, along with reflections from my book, Alone: A Story of Finding Self.You cannot control every outcome. You cannot guarantee that everyone will understand you, support you, buy from you, listen to you, or believe in what you are building.But you can decide whether fear gets to keep you from starting.So here is the question I want you to sit with:What is the one thing you have been putting off because you are afraid of what might happen?And then ask yourself something different:What if it works?If this episode resonates with you, follow Empower Hour with Lady J so you don't miss Season 6, and share this episode with someone who may be overthinking their next step.It is time to stop waiting until everything makes sense.Take the first bold step.This track was made by my daughter, Jasmine.

Today we come to Matthew 10 in our study of the Gospel of Matthew. Up to this point, Jesus has been teaching His disciples the way of the Kingdom of God and doing all the ministry as they watched. Now, He will send them out to put into practice what they have been learning and seeing in Him. Jesus gives them a charge before they go to trust Him and to choose faith over fear in every situation. Just like the disciples back then, Jesus sends us out into the world today. We are called to choose faith over fear as we live out our faith and share Jesus with others. 

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

Discussion about service, patriotism, faith, leadership, technology, and the responsibility to leave no one behind. Governor Moore explains why "service saved me," beginning with the mentors, teachers, coaches, ministers, aunties, and uncles who saw his potential before he could see it himself. He reflects on losing his father at age three, wearing handcuffs by eleven, being sent to military school, and eventually discovering that leadership is not about individual achievement. It is about lifting as we climb. The conversation then turns to the meaning of American patriotism. Governor Moore draws a sharp distinction between patriotism and nationalism, arguing that faith, not fear, is the foundation of a more perfect union. He and Mick also discuss Maryland's public-safety progress, service-year opportunities, apprenticeships, cannabis pardons, energy affordability, AI, data-center accountability, and why technological progress must include guardrails and public trust.

What gives a Christian courage when circumstances are frightening, costly, or painful? It begins with how we see God. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that courageous faith rests on the character of God. He is sovereign, holy, loving, faithful, all-knowing, all-powerful, and always present. Because God cannot be wrong or defeated, those who fully trust Him can face an uncertain world with confidence and peace. Our view of God determines whether we walk by faith or by sight. Jesus promised that believers would experience trouble in this world, yet Scripture is filled with men and women who endured persecution, suffering, rejection, and even death because they believed God's eternal promises were worth more than temporary comfort. Hebrews 11 remembers saints who refused to abandon their faith even when obedience carried an enormous cost. They did not receive everything God had promised during their earthly lives, yet they persevered because they were looking toward something better—an eternal inheritance secured by God Himself. Following Jesus will cost us something. But courageous faith knows that knowing Christ is infinitely more valuable than anything we could lose. Trust the God who never fails, and follow Him with confidence, whatever the cost. Prayer: Lord, forgive me for the times when I have put my desires before Your will and purpose for me. Help me to follow wherever You lead, no matter the cost. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “[Moses] regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward” (Hebrews 11:26).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Today’s Bible Verse:"But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, 'Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?'" — Exodus 17:3 In moments of pressure and need, our natural instinct is often to complain. The Israelites, thirsty and weary in the desert, questioned God’s plan and Moses’ leadership. Exodus 17:3 gives us a raw glimpse into human doubt and desperation—but it also points us to God’s faithfulness in meeting needs we can’t meet ourselves. Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Send us Fan MailThe Shoebox Kids try to imagine just how tall Goliath really was, and Chris starts wondering what he would ask David if he could talk to him after the battle. Soon, Chris imagines himself sitting in a field with David, asking the big question: “Weren't you afraid?”David's answer helps Chris see the story in a whole new way. David was not brave because he was big, strong, or important. He was brave because he trusted who God is. When everyone else thought Goliath was too powerful, David remembered that God was stronger. Chris learns that God can do great things through anyone who trusts Him.Talk about it:What question did Chris want to ask David?Why did David decide to fight Goliath?What does it mean that “it doesn't matter who we are, it only matters who God is”?How can trusting God help you be brave this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Send us Fan MailOne minute you are sitting at home watching a show, and the next you feel something that should not be there. That is how Darrel's story starts: a lump under his arm, a biopsy, a pathology report, and the word nobody wants to hear. The diagnosis becomes stage four cancer, and yet what stands out most is not denial or bravado, but a steady, clear peace in his voice that makes you stop and listen.We talk candidly about what goes through your mind when life suddenly splits into “before the news” and “after the news.” Darryl  shares why Proverbs 3:5 becomes more than a verse when you are staring at scans and waiting on answers: trusting the Lord with all your heart while admitting you do not understand the path ahead. We also dig into a practical, grounded approach to Christian faith during cancer treatment: valuing doctors, praying for their wisdom, and letting faith and medical care work side by side rather than competing.This conversation is also about community and perspective. Daryl describes classmates, churches, family, and friends surrounding him with prayer, and how that support changes the weight of the waiting. We wrestle with bigger questions too: what are you building your life on, what happens when the phone call eventually comes for all of us, and what it looks like to find peace in uncertainty while the story is still being written.If you need hope after a hard diagnosis or you love someone who does, listen through to the closing challenge and share it with a friend.

Have you ever felt relatively sure God was leading you toward something, only to have it turn out nothing like you expected? Maybe an opportunity disappeared, something you worked hard for failed or you waited so long that you’ve begun wondering whether you heard God correctly or did something to forfeit the call. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol talks with Andy Lee, author of From Failure to Faith, about the difference between God’s call and the expectations we attach to it. Drawing from Joshua 1:9, Carol and Andy discuss how disappointment, limitations, closed doors and waiting can cause us to question our calling and measure success by results God never promised. You’ll learn how to separate what God actually said from what you assumed He meant, recognize when a change of direction might be needed and how trust Him when the journey looks different than expected. Ultimately, Carol and Andy invite us to consider a better question: What does faithfulness look like from here?

#202 // God says do not fear. But your heart's pounding, your stomach's in knots, and now you feel guilty about the anxiety on top of the anxiety.So is feeling it the sin?No, Sister. And in this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper, we're getting into how this actually works, both scripturally and physiologically.Here's where most of us get tangled up...We read "do not fear" and we hear "you're not allowed to feel afraid." So, every time our body reacts, we assume we've already failed. That's not what God is commanding. The sensation of fear is going to come. But there's a difference between feeling fear and bowing to it, and once you can tell those two apart, obeying God on this stops feeling impossible.Here's what we're getting into:→ IS IT A SIN THAT I'M AFRAID RIGHT NOW? The difference between the sensation of fear and agreeing with it, and why confusing those two has kept you condemned instead of free→ WHEN THE VERSE STOPS "WORKING." What 2 Timothy 1:7 actually says in the Amplified, and what to do when a scripture you've quoted a hundred times has started to sound like white noise→ WHEN YOUR BODY IS RUNNING THE SHOW. The window you get when fear first hits, what's happening physically, and how 2 Corinthians 10:5 works in real time instead of just in theory→ GET THE WORD IN BEFORE YOU NEED IT. Why Joshua 1 tells us to meditate when we're calm, and what James means when he says the implanted word has power to save your soulFear doesn't get the last say over your life. You don't have to be perfect to walk out of the anxiety, panic or foreboding that's been trying to have you. Lean toward Him, and watch how He starts leading you out.

We live in a spiritual battle. There is an epic struggle between good vs. evil. We have an enemy that wars against us. Yet, as Christians, we have the Spirit of God in us, so our enemy cannot possess us, but he can tempt us. He can try to distract us from living for the things of God. But our God is greater! Jesus defeated our enemy on the cross and through His Resurrection, so our victory is secure. How will you respond to Jesus? Will you recognize Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and live with confidence in HIm? Jesus has all authority! Choose faith over fear.

Today's Bible Verse: "Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I, even I, will sing to the Lord; I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song." — Judges 5:3 When you're facing uncertainty, anxiety, or fear about the future, how can you find peace and learn to trust God? Judges 5:3 reminds us that one of the most powerful ways to strengthen our faith is to remember God's faithfulness and praise Him for what He has already done. Remembering God's faithfulness changes our perspective. When we focus only on what we cannot control, uncertainty can quickly become overwhelming. But when we look back at God's provision, protection, guidance, and promises, we are reminded that the same God who has been faithful in the past is still with us today.

What is the “secret sauce” to winning by faith?You use the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, your covenant, and the power of the Holy Spirit—and then you do it again. And again. And again, until you win.In Part 3 of How to Win, Terry Mize explains why faith must be more than familiar words, religious clichés, or Scripture spoken from the head. God's Word must become established in your spirit so that it rises up when fear, danger, and crisis arrive.Drawing from David's confrontation with Goliath and Terry's own life-threatening encounter with an armed hitchhiker, this message reveals how to confront fear immediately, stand on God's covenant, and refuse to surrender to the enemy's threats.David never honored Goliath by calling him a giant. He saw him as an uncircumcised Philistine—a man without a covenant. David understood: “This man cannot win, and I cannot lose.”In this episode, you'll discover:• Why fear and faith cannot live in the same house• The difference between speaking from your head and speaking from your spirit• How life's pressures can choke the Word• Why you must confront fear before confronting the problem• How to use the name, blood, Word, covenant, and power of the Holy Spirit• The “secret sauce” of persistent faith• What David understood about Goliath that Israel had forgotten• Why covenant changes how you see every battle• How to keep standing until victory comesKey Scriptures:1 Samuel 17Luke 10:192 Timothy 1:71 John 4:18Mark 4:14–20Romans 8:11CONNECT WITH US

When responsibilities pile up and the people and circumstances you care about feel dependent on you, it can be easy to slip from faithful diligence into anxious striving. We work harder, plan further ahead, and try to control outcomes, often without realizing fear is driving our efforts. In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Jennifer Slattery talks with Bible teacher and bestselling author Dr. Tara Dew about the peace available to us when we remember who our Shepherd is and learn to entrust ourselves and those we love to His care. Drawing from Psalm 23 and insights from her book Overflowing Peace: What God Says About a Peace-Filled Life, Tara shares how understanding the nature and care of our Good Shepherd can help us rest, recognize when fear is fueling our work, and follow God even when we can’t see where He’s leading. Together, she and Jennifer discuss practical ways to shift our focus from what feels dependent on us to God’s faithfulness, provision, and guidance—and why we can trust that the Shepherd who leads us into unfamiliar territory already knows the path ahead.

#201 // You feel it. That pull that says you were made to carry something significant. Something that matters. Something for God.Then you look at your actual Tuesday. The laundry, the inbox, the school pickup, the thing that didn't go the way you planned. And that feeling of significance gets real quiet. You start to wonder if you're doing enough, if any of it's even working, if the big thing God put in you is ever going to look like anything from the outside.If that's you, there's something in this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper that's going to take the pressure off completely. Because Jesus said the Kingdom of God isn't out there and it isn't someday. It's inside you, right now. And what's growing in there is bigger than you think.Here's what we're getting into:→ WHY YOU CAN'T SEE IT. What Jesus meant in Luke 17 when He said the Kingdom doesn't come with observation, and why you've been searching the outside for something that lives on the inside→ THE PRESSURE-RELIEF OF THE MUSTARD SEED. Why the smallest, most hidden, most ordinary-looking thing in you is the exact thing God grows into the biggest, and why you can stop trying to make yourself big enough to matter→ YOU'RE THE SOIL. The reason your ordinary, everyday life isn't a disqualification, it's the whole design, and why the seed of the Kingdom needs a real woman living a real life to grow→ YOU DON'T GET DISQUALIFIED FOR A BAD DAY. Why you don't lose your capacity to carry the Kingdom because you had a rough one, got it wrong, or were short with somebody, and the protection God built right inThere's a whole ecosystem of life God wants to grow through the seed He planted in you. So the real question is, how are you going to steward the Kingdom that's already inside you?

Jesus invites us to follow Him. But following Jesus doesn't mean life will always be easy. Even as Christians, we go through storms. Some storms are small - a worry, a fear - a passing moment, but other storms are big - relationships, sickness - a longer battle to fight. But we must never forget that Jesus is in the storm with us. Jesus is greater than anything we will ever face, and Jesus is Lord over all. It is in the storms where our faith grows the most. Therefore, will you put your eyes on Jesus and not simply on the storms? Let's choose faith over fear today.

Today's Bible Verse: "But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died." — Judges 4:21 Judges 4:21 records one of the most unexpected moments in the Bible. Israel's victory did not come through a mighty warrior or a powerful army, but through Jael—an ordinary woman who courageously acted at a pivotal moment. God used someone few would have expected to accomplish His purposes and bring deliverance to His people.

Today's Bible Verse: "These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan... He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience." — Judges 3:1–2 Judges 3:1–2 reveals an unexpected truth about God's character. After Israel entered the Promised Land, God allowed certain nations to remain—not because He had abandoned His people, but because He wanted to test them and teach a new generation to trust and depend on Him. What looked like a setback was actually an opportunity for spiritual growth.

God's love for His children is deeper than we can fully comprehend. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that God not only redeemed us for eternity, but He also walks with us through every season of life—comforting, protecting, delivering, and sustaining us. Before the foundation of the world, God knew His people by name. He orchestrated every detail of our lives, opened our eyes to His great salvation, and gave us the Holy Spirit to teach us, guide us, and remind us of Christ's words. Yet when trouble comes, many pray as though God must be persuaded to care, failing to remember the depth of His love already displayed at the cross. Dr. Youssef warns that too many believers live beneath their spiritual privileges. Instead of standing on God's promises, they surrender to fear, anxiety, and discouragement. But the child of God has access to the limitless resources of heaven. We are not powerless, and we are never alone. When trials come, the Holy Spirit strengthens us, the Word of God guides us, and the presence of Christ surrounds us. Our hope is not rooted in human ability or favorable circumstances, but in the unchanging character of our faithful Savior, who has already won the victory through His death and resurrection. As Christians, we can turn to God with confidence, knowing we are His beloved children, and pray:  Lord, we both know that I'm in trouble, but I know Your Word says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled” (John 14:1). I am confident that You have already blessed me with every spiritual blessing. You have given me all the strength I need to face these problems. I know that You are walking with me and that You promised never to leave me nor forsake me (Hebrews 13:5). I thank You for hearing my concerns and for providing a solution. Help me to discern Your will and to obey You faithfully. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.   The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Today's Bible Verse: "The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel." — Judges 2:7 Trust in God is often forged through experience. Judges 2:7 reflects on a generation of Israelites who remained faithful because they had personally witnessed God's power, provision, and faithfulness. They had seen Him deliver His people, keep His promises, and work in ways that left no doubt about His presence. Our own faith grows in much the same way. While we may wish for an easier path, God often uses life's most difficult seasons to deepen our trust in Him. Challenges become opportunities to experience His provision, discover His strength, and remember His faithfulness in ways that comfort alone never could.
