Theme: Experiencing God’s timely help and support.
Opening Prayer:
“Father, thank You for being my ever-present help in times of need. As I meditate on Your Word today, help me to trust in Your unfailing support. Holy Spirit, fill me with peace as I lean on You.”
Devotional Thought:
"Throughout Scripture, we see God stepping in to help His people in miraculous ways. Psalm 46 declares that God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help. Whether it’s through the story of Samuel raising an Ebenezer stone in 1 Samuel 7 or the angel appearing to Mary in Luke 1, God’s help comes right on time. Through the Holy Spirit, we can experience His help daily and walk in the assurance of His presence."
