Trusting God In The Valley

August 22, 2025

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; Luke 3:5

Each of us have felt like we were in the valley and every road we travelled was rough. It seemed like every step we took the valley became lower and more difficult to navigate. Life has a way of taking us through these unexpected twists and turns, and we find out there are more twist and turns than there are straight places. No matter how tough life becomes we must always trust God with it all. The Scripture reminds us that when we trust in The Lord, every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth. I encourage you today to give it all over to The Lord. You may be going through the valley, but The Lord will fill every valley for you so you will walk on level ground. He will bring down every mountain that seems impossible to climb. Even when you are going through the twist and turns of life, He will make straight places just for you. You may have hit a rough place in life but keep on trusting The Lord and He will make your rough places smooth. Life becomes difficult at times, but keep your trust in The Lord and He will walk with you, and He will walk you out of what you are in. In the valleys or over the mountains, through the twist and turns of life, and even in the rough places, I will trust The Lord to bring me through. Since I am trusting The Lord always, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, I trust you to bring me through every valley. I trust you to help me climb every mountain, and I know that no matter how crooked a place may be right now, you will make it straight for me. Thank you Lord for all you do for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
