God Is Our Shelter And StrengthSample
God Makes All Things New
Like the people of Judah who had lost their homes, you can draw hope and comfort from the words of the prophet Isaiah.
Watch for Something New
Read: Isaiah 43:18-21
God’s New Creation Awaits You
Read: Isaiah 65:17-25
God Will Comfort and Heal You
Lean on God for comfort, healing, and strength. In the same way that God comforts you, you can give comfort and help to those who are experiencing similar hardships. You can share what you are feeling with others. Giving and receiving comfort can ease your burden and provide you and others in your community with hope, encouragement and the strength to endure.
Read: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7
Words of Assurance
“I am creating new heavens and a new earth; everything of the past will be forgotten.” Isaiah 65:17 (CEV)
· What new things do you see happening around you?
· What gives you hope?
· Can you sense God’s presence in what is taking place?
About this Plan
Natural disasters—such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, even pandemics—often strike without warning. The shock, fear and sense of outrage can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling completely helpless and abandoned. In the midst of devastation and loss, be assured that God is with you—loving you and caring for you, “always ready to help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
