My Vision - Jesus’s Way

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. ~ Psalm 27:3

Confidence isn’t about living a life free from battles, it’s about knowing who stands with you when the battle comes.

David, the writer of Psalm 27, faced real enemies, real threats, and real danger. Yet he boldly declared that even if an army surrounded him, he wouldn’t be afraid. Even if war exploded all around him, he would still stand confident. How? Because David wasn’t relying on his own strength, his own plans, or his own weapons. His confidence was rooted in God,  in God’s power, God’s promises, and God’s unfailing presence.

Our battles today might look different. Maybe it’s a health scare, a broken relationship, financial stress, or a struggle inside our own minds. Whatever it is, the truth is the same: when our confidence is in God, fear loses its grip.

Confidence doesn’t mean we pretend everything is fine. It means we face our battles honestly,  but with hearts anchored in a bigger reality. God is with us. He fights for us. And He will never let us face a single battle alone.

Today, no matter what’s surrounding you, you can stand firm. You can breathe deep. You can be confident, not because of what you can do, but because of who God is.

Three Actions to Take Today:

1. Start your day in God’s Word. Read Psalm 27 slowly and prayerfully. Let David’s confidence become your confession. 

2. Name your battle and surrender it. Write down one struggle or fear you're facing. Speak it out loud in prayer and consciously hand it over to God. 

3. Reach out to someone. Confidence grows in community. Call or message a trusted friend or mentor, share what you’re facing, and invite them to pray with you or walk alongside you.

Dear Lord ~ Thank You that I never face a single battle alone. When fear tries to overwhelm me, remind me of Your power, Your promises, and Your presence. Anchor my heart in the truth that You are with me, even when the world feels shaky. Teach me to trust not in my own strength, but in Yours. Help me walk in confidence, not because everything is easy, but because You are unshakable. Today, I choose to rest in Your faithfulness and stand firm, knowing You are my refuge and my strength. ~ Amen.
