Be still and know that I am God. I am with you now and always. I am a refuge in the storm. Stay near to Me and trust Me no matter what you see or hear. I am working in all of this – turning hearts and lives to Me.
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear. If I am for you, who can be against you? Keep your eyes on Me — just like I instructed Peter on the stormy seas. When he took His eyes off of Me, what happened? He began to sink. But did I not save him? Yes, as soon as he asked.
Come to me all who are weary and heavy-burdened and I will give you rest. Rest that allows your heart and mind to rest, not just your body.
Remember, I will fight for you; you only need be still. I have overcome the world and am with you now and forever.

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
“And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:28-33

Hi Leslie. I love your message! I didn’t know you also had a blog. I just joined Hire My Mom and love it so far. I’m transitioning back into working and writing is one of my passions. In fact, just this year, I started a blog called Sharing in Faith for women to connect with each other to share how they live out their faith in everyday life. It’s great to connect with others who aren’t afraid to write about their faith too. Thank you!
Hi Suzanne! That’s so great to hear! Glad you are enjoying HireMyMom!
I really felt led to start this blog a couple of years ago to share my faith and things God lays on my heart.
I love that you have a blog too! Thanks for your message!
