“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…”
— Psalm 23:4-5 (NIV)
🌑 Your Valley Matters to God
Let’s name what you’re carrying today:
- Is it fear that paralyzes you?
- Loneliness that weighs heavy?
- Uncertainty about tomorrow?
Take a deep breath (hold for 4 seconds) and whisper:
“Jesus, You’re walking this valley with me right now.”
👑 Honor God: From the Valley Floor
“God, nothing compares to You!”
Even here, we see Your:
🔥 Power – holding galaxies and my fragile heart
💝 Faithfulness – never leaving me in the valley
👑 Majesty – reigning above my storm
Look around – what small detail shows God’s care for you today?
(A bird singing? A comforting text? The air in your lungs?)
