Published: March 26, 2023, midnight

b'Have you had times in your life when things were so difficult that it felt\\nlike you were going into a battle each day? Are you going through something\\nthat feels like that right now? If so, did you know that God is ready to go\\nto battle for you? You don\\u2019t have to face anything in your life on your\\nown. Even if you feel unprepared for what is to come, you don\\u2019t have to be\\nafraid. God wants to be there for you.\\n.\\nThroughout the Bible, we find images of God going into battle for His\\npeople. He is strong and powerful. He can face the difficult stuff in our\\nlives head on. When we feel weak, He is ready to be strong for us (2\\nCorinthians 12:9-11). When we are scared, He invites us to come to Him and\\nrest in His love. When we see so much brokenness in the world, we can know\\nthat God is fighting to heal the world from sin and its effects. Because\\nJesus died and rose from the dead for us, we can look forward to the day He\\nwill return bodily to earth and put an end to all evil and pain and sorrow\\nonce and for all. And in the meantime, we get to be part of His healing\\nwork, relying on Him for courage and wisdom all along the way.\\n.\\nWhatever you are dealing with\\u2014whether it be a tough home situation, a bully\\nat school, struggles at work, or something else\\u2014God is there for you. You\\nare never alone. You never have to face anything by yourself. You always\\nhave someone who is ready to fight for you. Jesus will stay by your side\\nthrough it all. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n.\\n\\u2022 What kinds of hard things have you been experiencing lately?

If\\nyou have felt unsafe (at home, at school, at work, etc.) who is a trusted\\nadult you can tell right away? \\n.\\nWho is this King of glory?
