Do you ever doubt that God will provide for you? Do you ever feel like He's forgotten about you?

I've experienced these feelings a number of times. But every single time that I felt like I wouldn't make it through the hardship I was facing, God provided for me. He never fails to take care of me. NEVER. And I've finally reached a point where I can confidently say that I believe God is bigger than anything that I will ever face. It's easy to make that statement when everything is going our way. But if we're putting our trust in God's plan for our lives and taking leaps of faith for Him, things probably won't feel like they're going our way (because they're not—they're going God's way).

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

Back in the summer, I was watching a video on Emma Mae Jenkins' blog, cheerfulchitchats, where she challenged her viewers to memorize a Bible verse by repeating it throughout each day for one week.

I was so encouraged by Emma's video that I decided to give it a shot.

I chose a verse, wrote it on brightly-colored sticky notes and put them in places where I knew I would see them on a regular basis. I stuck one in my car, one on my bathroom mirror and one on my laptop.

My verse was Psalm 94:22 (ESV):

"But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge."

So, does this Scripture-memorizing technique relate to the questions I posed at the beginning of this post? Yep!

Repeating the same small piece of God's Word to myself multiple times a day over the course of a week erased my anxiety. It calmed my worries. It diminished my doubt.

When I was on my way to my job and felt like I didn't have the strength to make it through my long shift that day, I remembered:

"But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge."

On days that I felt insecure and began focusing on all of my flaws, weaknesses, failures and mistakes, I reminded myself:

"But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge."

Do I still have problems in my life? Absolutely. But knowing that God will protect me, strengthen me and carry my burdens makes enduring life's difficulties so much more doable.

The overwhelming peace that I received from this verse left such an impact on me that I just wanted to share it with you all. I encourage you to seek out what God is trying to communicate to you this week. Pick a verse to meditate on, pray about it and see how God uses it to better reveal Himself to you!
