Reflection on You Are My God

What does it mean to say, “You are my God”? It is not a mere statement, but a declaration of trust, commitment, and surrender.

When David said these words in Psalm 31:14, he was facing trials. Yet, he chose to place his confidence in God, declaring that God was his protector and sustainer.

As believers, we are called to live each day with the same confidence.

See, life will bring challenges, uncertainties, and trials, but when we declare “You are my God,” we are choosing to trust in God’s goodness and power. This declaration should shift our focus from our problems to God’s ability to solve them.

In Isaiah 41:10 we read,

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

This verse aligns perfectly with today’s theme, reminding us that God is present, powerful, and dependable.

To live in the reality of this truth, we must actively surrender every area of our lives to God.

Surrender means trusting Him with our future, relationships, and decisions. It also means acknowledging that our identity is found in Him alone.

When we let go of control and let God lead, we experience peace and purpose that only He can give.

By doing this, we strengthen our relationship with Him and grow in our faith.

It’s time the believer proclaimed to Him “You are my God”.
