“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 (NRSV) Moses knew that He could not accomplish anything without God. He seeks God to confirm He will accompany him on the journey ahead. In this text, God assures Moses His presence will be with him. While God will often provide others to journey with us to fulfill our purpose, remember as long as we have His presence, we have all that we need. It does not matter what challenges are ahead of you, if God is with you, you can conquer them all. With Him we can successfully complete every assignment He gives us. This week, meditate on all that God has asked you to do. Think about what or who you’ve been waiting on to get started. Perhaps God has opened a door for you and fear is holding you back. Maybe you have been focusing on your shortcomings and you’ve overlooked how His ability outweighs your inadequacies. Do you think the road ahead has too many obstacles or that your enemies are stronger? If so, have faith that God is greater than all that comes up against you. Know that God is with you, rest in Him, then proceed ahead. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Align our desires with the desires of your heart. Then give us peace, as we trust you to bring it to pass. In Jesus name, Amen. ADaubon
“As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.” Psalm 103:13 Heavenly Father, bless all the fathers’ who take care of their families and are committed to their responsibilities.

Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. Jer. 33:6 (NIV) God has not forgotten us. He will heal our land, give us peace that surpasses understanding, restore our joy and keep us safe. He has done it before and He can do it again. Don’t lose your faith in God’s ability. He still sits on the throne. ADaubon
For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. James 1:3-4 (NLT) In life you will go through seasons and circumstances when your faith is tested. It is in these moments, understand that you are being made stronger. You will rise above your current circumstances, with more power than you ever imagined. You are evolving and your struggles are making you grow. You will not be defeated. You have a mighty force behind you, before you and within you. Stay strong and don’t give up. ADaubon
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Prov. 4:23 (NIV) God please let our actions and words, align with your expectations of how we should live. Teach us how to represent your love and kindness at all times. Help us to not let our hearts grow weary by the actions of others. Strengthen us to not let bitterness or resentment take root when we are disappointed, betrayed or hurt. Cover us from feelings of anxiety, fear, worry, doubt, envy, jealousy, vindictiveness and everything that is in direct opposition of you. Guard our hearts and minds, empower us to reject anything that does not resemble you or your love. Let our hearts be a reflection of you, and our actions will follow. In Jesus name, Amen. ADaubon
You don’t have to fear the plans of those that seek to do you harm. Don’t be tempted to nurture feelings of hate or act out of character. The wicked deeds of others will not overtake you. Don’t become discouraged or vindictive and never let your heart grow cold. When you allow evil doers to change who you are, then you give them much more power than they deserve. Stay authentically you and let your love always shine through. Maintain your integrity, God will give you victory. ADaubon
