To New Believers

To new believers—you may have finally found what you’ve been searching for: a relationship with God that brings peace and abundance. However, like David in Psalm 23, you will face challenges. In verse 4, he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, feeling uncertain and hunted by an insane king. Every Christian faces trials, and in these seasons, it’s easy to feel as though God’s promises aren’t true. But remember Peter’s words in 1 Peter 4:12-14, reminding us not to be surprised by fiery trials as if they were something strange. And Jesus assures us in John 16:33 that while we will face tribulations, He has overcome the world. Trust that God is with you today. Lean on prayer, seek His face, and know that He will guide you through every valley toward peace and restoration. It’s time to pray.
