“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
Exodus 14:14 NLT

The end of September can feel weighty. The world headlines alone carry enough sorrow to bow our shoulders. Add to that the quiet burdens tucked into our own lives — strained relationships, uncertain futures, financial pressures, hidden griefs.

Sometimes the load feels too much, and we wonder if God sees or if He’ll come through.

The Israelites knew this feeling. Freshly freed from Egypt, they suddenly found themselves trapped — an impassable sea before them and Pharaoh’s army thundering behind. Fear surged. Despair whispered that hope was lost. Yet right there, hemmed in on every side, God was at work. He told His people to stand firm and watch. And then, He split the sea. He made a way when there was no way.

This is our God. The same God who fought for His people at the Red Sea is fighting for you now.He has not stopped working. He has not forgotten how to provide. Even if you cannot see the path forward, He is already making one.

As September closes and a new month begins, rest in this truth: your heaviness is held by the God who parts seas.

Prayer 
Lord, You see the weight I’m carrying and the fear I cannot name. Thank You for reminding me that I don’t have to fight alone — you fight for me. You provide when I can’t see a way. Help me to trust Your presence in the middle of my uncertainty. Make a way forward, Lord, and keep my heart steady as I wait on You. Amen.
