**Scripture Reading**: Acts 18:9-10 (KJV)
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city."
**Devotional**:
God encourages us during our lowest points, just as He encouraged Paul. When you're feeling vulnerable and weary, remember God's promises. His presence means you are not alone, even in the darkest moments.
**Reflection**:
Consider a time when you felt ready to quit. How did God show His presence in your life? What encouragement can you draw from Paul's perseverance in Corinth?
**Prayer**:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being with me in my moments of distress. Help me to remember Your words of encouragement and never lose hope. Strengthen my faith so I may continue Your work with courage. Amen.
**Action**:
Write down three specific instances where you felt encouraged by God’s presence in challenging times. Share one of those stories with a friend or family member.
