You Are Carried

Breathe Deep and Know: He is carrying you. You are held safe in His hands.

Sometimes we forget that we are held. The darkness of suffering closes in and it’s hard to see—hard to see those around us, to see our support systems, to see the gifts and mercies present even in the darkest of times. It feels like we’re alone, abandoned, and left to fend for ourselves. Prayer adjusts our eyes to see the truth: in the darkness, His hands are enfolding us; through the unknown, His arms are carrying us.

The God who made you, who knit together every cell and fiber of your being, is the One who sustains you. Right now in this moment, He is holding you. And He will never ever stop—not today, not tomorrow, not on days when hope is hard to hold or the dark is closing in—there will never be day in all of your days when His loving arms aren’t carrying you through.

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

Isaiah 46:40 NIV

inhale:

You made me and sustain me,

exhale:

You carry me all of my days.
