🌿 Today, I will move forward knowing He is with me

After the resurrection,
Jesus meets with His disciples one final time—
about forty days later.

He sends them forward
to live this out
and carry His message into the world.

And just before He is taken up, He gives them this promise:

“And surely I am with you always…” — Matthew 28:20 

A promise not just for that moment—
but for everything that would come after.

And when He is taken up,
they return not in fear—
but in worship…
and with great joy.

A reminder that even as we step into what we don’t fully understand,
we are not alone.

Prayer

Lord,

As I move forward into what comes next,
help me remember that You are with me.

Even when I don’t fully understand,
even when the path isn’t clear—
You remain.

Fill my heart with a steady kind of joy,
not based on certainty,
but on Your presence.

Help me follow You
and trust You
in all that lies ahead.

Amen.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

I hope these moments have drawn you closer
to Jesus and His words—
and that they continue to stay with you in the days ahead.

Many Blessings~ 
Marissa
