Finding Comfort in Uncertain Times
As I navigated the uncharted waters of the 2020 pandemic lockdown, my pregnancy added an extra layer of anxiety to an already dire situation. The constant stream of distressing news created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, making it difficult to access antenatal care in my region. With my new job hanging in the balance, I felt like I was walking on thin ice. The company was struggling to stay afloat, and I was barely five months in.
A Voice of Calm in the Storm
In those moments of uncertainty, a gentle whisper echoed in my heart, “I am with you in this.” It was a reassuring reminder that I wasn’t alone. When my seventh-month scan revealed a medical condition that put my pregnancy at risk, I clung to that promise. The doctor’s words were daunting, but I chose to focus on the comforting voice that whispered, “I am with you in this.”
Living One Day at a Time
I learned to take things one day at a time, pouring my heart out to God in prayer and worship. And then, on the ninth month, my baby arrived – healthy and without complications. It was a miracle! But that wasn’t all; despite the company’s downsizing, my job was preserved. It was as if God was saying, “I am with you in this.”
The Power of God’s Presence
When we’re in the midst of turmoil, it’s easy to let fear take hold. But God’s promise is clear: He is always with us. He was with Daniel in the lion’s den, with Shadrack, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace, and with Paul and Silas in prison. And He is with you, beloved. His gentle voice whispers, “I am with you in this.” Will you listen to His comforting words today?
