And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you” — Acts‬ ‭18:9–10a

The same message Paul was given is the same for us. God is with us in all of life’s ups & downs, not only to comfort us but to give us strength & hope! When persecuted Paul continues on because he knows that God is his rock. He knows that God will be sure, steadfast, & faithful for His glory & Paul’s good. God is faithful just the same to us. Because of Christ’s life, death, & resurrection we have no separation from God! We know that He is always with us working for His glory & our good! Though life can be crazy & wild, God never leaves us. Where do you need to remember that you don’t need to be afraid because God is with you giving you strength & comfort? Where do you need to remember the faithfulness of God for His glory & your good?
