2 Corinthians 2: 14, Hebrews 13: 5
If your experience of life is anything like mine then I'm sure you'll agree it's a roller coaster - exciting, then scary, then spinning you round and flying by so fast. Sometimes things are up, and sometimes down - In fact if we're honest things are up and down at the same time usually - and that can really mess with your head!
The thing is, wherever we are on our roller coaster ride today we need to know that it's God who always leads us in victory - by that I mean we can get through anything, no matter how hard it seems, with confidence when we have God riding with us. As 2 Corinthians 2: 14 says:
'But thanks be to God, who always leads us in victory through Christ.'
It's not just mind over matter, or even having confidence in ourselves, but knowing that we're riding with God and giving control of our lives to Him. He's never afraid of the twists and turns, in fact He has said 'I will never leave you; I will never forget you' (Hebrews 13: 5) which means He won't ever get off the ride and just leave us to it!
Maybe you've been worrying about some things and struggling to have faith that God can work it out - the bills, your exam grades, a relationship - whatever.
So take a moment now and make sure you have invited the Amazing, All-powerful, Creator of the universe, God our Heavenly Father into your roller coaster life. Do what the Bible says, thank our Almighty Father God that He will lead you in His victory through Christ, and give over the worries to Him. No matter what the situation is and how it turns out, you are loved and never left all alone; He will see you through.
Enjoy the ride!
