  1. There are moments when you don't have the answers, the energy, or the clarity to move forward.

  2. In those moments, Jesus doesn't stand at a distance.

  3. He steps in as your helper.

  4. His presence is not passive, it is active, attentive, and near.

  5. You are not left to figure things out on your own.

  6. Take a deep breath and listen to the Bible.

  7. It says God is our refuge and our strength and an ever-present help in trouble.

  8. Psalm 46, 1.

  9. Let's take 20 seconds to thank Jesus that he is present and available to help you right now.

  10. Reflect on how he has helped you in the past.

  11. Now, tell Jesus where you need help today.

  12. Specifically and honestly, I want you to invite him into the details, not just the big picture.

  13. Ask God to guide you, to strengthen you, and to support you in the areas where you feel limited.

  14. Let him know you are choosing to depend on him rather than carry it alone.

  15. Exhale.

  16. Close your eyes and take a moment to acknowledge that He is with you.

  17. Let your shoulders relax as you release the pressure to handle everything yourself.

  18. Say it again in your mind: Jesus is with me.

  19. Pause for a moment to pray for someone who needs help in a difficult situation.

  20. Lord, thank you for being our ever present help.

  21. God, we rely on you today and thank you for your presence.

  22. Amen.
