“I Am With You” – Inspired by the Book of John

One of the most comforting truths in Scripture comes from Jesus’ own words in the Gospel of John. Over and over, He reminds us that He is near, He is present, and He is faithful.

John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Life brings seasons that shake us—uncertainty, stress, fear, and moments where the future feels cloudy. Yet Jesus doesn’t offer us temporary comfort. He offers His peace—a peace that anchors the soul even when everything around us feels unstable.

John 15:5 tells us, “I am the vine, ye are the branches…”
When we stay connected to Him, we’re not running on our own strength. His life flows into us. His courage becomes our courage. His hope becomes our hope.

And when we feel alone, John 10:14 reminds us: “I am the good shepherd… and know my sheep.”
Jesus doesn’t just know about you—He knows you personally. He sees the hidden tears, the silent prayers, and the battles no one else understands.

Life Application:
Today, take a moment to breathe in the peace Christ offers. Remember that you are not walking through this day alone. Stay connected to Him through prayer, His Word, and quiet moments of stillness. Let His voice guide you, His peace fill you, and His love lift you.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for being my peace, my Shepherd, and my source of strength. Help me to stay connected to You today. Quiet my fears, steady my heart, and fill me with Your presence. Lead me step by step, and let Your love shine through my life. In Your holy name, amen.
