God Is Our Bridge Over Every Problem
Life can feel overwhelming. Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty seem to be everywhere. People are looking for peace, for answers, for a way through the chaos. It is easy to feel like we’re just barely holding on.
Back in the 1970s, Simon & Garfunkel released a song called "Bridge Over Troubled Water." One line goes, “When you’re weary, feeling small… I’m on your side when times get rough.” That imagery is powerful—someone willing to lay themselves down like a bridge to help you get across the hard stuff. It’s a beautiful reflection of the love God has for us.
God is that bridge. He gets us over the deep waters of life—the heartbreaks, the confusion, the fear. He doesn’t just watch from a distance; He steps in. He protects us, lifts us, and keeps us from falling (Isaiah 46:4). Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), and that’s exactly who He is—our way through every challenge.
When life hits hard, God lifts a standard against the storm (Isaiah 59:19b). When we cry out for help, He sends His word to heal and restore us (Psalm 107:19-20). He’s not just a lifeline—He’s the whole rescue plan.
So instead of giving all our attention to bad news, social media rants, or hopeless headlines, let’s stay focused on God’s truth. Let’s keep His promises in front of us—on our minds and in our hearts (Proverbs 4:20-22). No matter what you’re facing, know this: God is your bridge. He’s strong enough to carry you, steady enough to walk on, and loving enough to always see you through to the other side.
John 14:6
New International Version
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Isaiah 46:4
New International Version
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you
Isaiah 59:19b
New King James Version
19 …When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.
Psalm 107:19-20
New International Version
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
20 He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
Proverbs 4:20-22
New International Version
20 My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.
