📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

I’ve had seasons where the loudest voice against me was my own. Replaying old failures. Rehearsing worst-case scenarios. Convinced that this time, the thing I’m facing will finally be the thing that undoes me.

Paul knew loud voices too. He’d been shipwrecked, beaten, stoned and left for dead, betrayed by people he trusted. His life looked like a losing battle. And yet he asks one audacious question: “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

Notice he doesn’t say nothing will be against us. He says it won’t ultimately win. God isn’t pretending the struggle isn’t real; He’s placing His decision above every accusation. It’s like the Judge Himself has stepped down from the bench to stand at your side.

The criticism is real, yet God is for you. The uncertainty is real, yet God is for you. Even the voice in your own head telling you you’re not enough—God is louder, and He is for you.

This isn’t pretending everything is fine. It’s remembering who is standing with you. Your problems don’t magically shrink, but they stop having the final word, because the One who is for you is bigger than anything that’s against you.

And He has never lost.

Ask Yourself:

• Where do I most feel “against myself” right now—through guilt, comparison, or self-criticism?

• What is one simple way I can remind my heart today that God is for me in that exact place?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

You know how quickly I agree with the voices that say I'm not enough. I replay what I've done wrong and quietly assume You must feel the same. Today I want to live under a different sentence: that in Christ, You are for me.

When worry rises or old accusations return, remind me that nothing I face is bigger than Your love or stronger than Your decision to stand with me. Help me walk through this day with the quiet confidence of someone fully known and still fully wanted.

If You are for me, I don't need to fear who or what is against me.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
