Cheer for the Soul

Finding Peace in God’s Word

When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

Psalm 94:19 (ESV)

Congratulations, you’ve made it to the final day of this study! I pray you come away closer to God than you’ve ever been before, and that He uses this experience to launch the new things He wants to do in your life right now.

God’s Word has dramatically changed my life. It has taught me how to keep a right attitude in the midst of trials. It has taught me truth, and I now recognize the lies of the devil and can resist them. The same life-changing power is available to you.

I remember how frightened I was when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery, and by God’s grace here I am, more than 37 years later, cancer-free without the need for chemotherapy or radiation. Looking back, I realize how much unnecessary worry consumed me when I could have placed my trust in God.

Now when I am upset, I go to God’s Word, and by reading or listening to it, I find that it calms my anxieties. In moments of distress, I know that if I turn to God’s Word, I will find a soothing balm that can calm the anxiety within my soul.

Through studying His Word, we discover the profound truth that trusting in God’s promises can transform troubles, trials, and even extreme difficulties into blessings.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: God, I firmly believe that You are actively at work in my life right now. Grant me the strength to maintain a right attitude, trusting that I will witness the results in due time. In Jesus’ name, amen.
