Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 1st January 2026 (Friday) Message
TOPIC: God’s Comfort and Encouragement
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. – Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
We all go through hard times, but the good news is that when we do, God is always present to comfort and encourage us. When times are tough, remember that they won’t last forever. God will not allow more to come on you than you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).
You don’t have to be afraid, no matter what you may face today, because God is with you, and He loves you deeply and unconditionally. You may not know how to turn your situation around, but God does. He always has a good plan for you, and temporary problems don’t have the ability to cancel those plans.
What you are dealing with is temporary, but God is eternal, and He will never leave you or forsake you.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, thank You that You’re always with me. When I face hard times, remind me that Your love is eternal, Your plan is good, and Your strength sustains me, amen.
