Motivation Monday: God Is With You.

Hey everyone! I'm finally at college! It's great here, but the transition hasn't been easy. You all know that I'm a girl that loves Jesus, but I'm in a place that doesn't promote Jesus often. It's tough because everyone curses, parties & does crazy things. That's not me at all.
My first few days here, I was very uncomfortable. I was around people that cursed (A LOT!) & I just didn't fit in. I prayed one night & then this scripture appeared to me: 
"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
    Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
    I will hold you up with my victorious right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)
This scripture just so happened to be the verse of the day when I was praying to God. It reassured me that God is with me. He will not leave me during this transition & He will place me in my right place at the right time. 
I want to encourage you. If you're dealing with a tough transition like me, or if you're faced with a challenge & you're worried, just know that God is with you. He will never do anything to steer you wrong! He has your back & He's working out every problem for your good. Learn to talk to Him & thank Him in advance for the great things that He's getting ready to do for you. Don't be afraid because God is with you. Don't stress because God is in control. 
Let's pray: Father God, we thank you for another beautiful day. Thank you for blessing us beyond what we need God. Father, we thank you for never leaving us. God, we thank you that you are already in our futures & you are working out every situation & every challenge for our good. We're so thankful that you are our God & that you love us so much! We ask that you will keep us sane in the middle of your challenges. We pray that you will keep us from falling & help us to stand solid in you. We love you, God & we give you all of the glory & honor. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Love you girls! Conquer this day because God is on your side.
