​Week 17, Day 2
April 26, 2022
Scripture: Matthew 14
 
“But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”” (Matthew 14:27)
 
One of the most important things we can learn as Christians is to practice the presence of God. Consider your life. There are so many moments that are filled with great anxiety, frustrations, hurt, suffering, anger, grief, sorrow and so much more.
 
But Jesus’ words echo into those moments, and give us great comfort, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid!” The one who has the power to feed thousands, calm storms, still waters and walk on water, is present with his disciples. 
 
He’s present with you, through His Spirit.
 
Consider the loving and faithful presence of God today. Find comfort, just give pause to your life and know that the one who gives us living bread, and the power to calm storms, is with you.
