Have you ever felt overwhelmed by what’s ahead? Maybe you’re stepping into something new - a job, a relationship, or a challenge that feels too big. The fear of the unknown can make us hesitate, make us doubt ourselves. It’s easy to wonder, How will I make it through?

In Joshua 1:9, God speaks directly to us with a promise: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” These words are more than just a command - they are a comfort, a reassurance that we don’t have to face life’s challenges alone.
