Across a galaxy far, far away, a familiar phrase is spoken again and again: “May the Force be with you.” It’s a send-off, a blessing, a reminder that no one faces the journey alone. Long before Star Wars, Scripture offered a blessing with the same kind of promise. In the book of Numbers, God says to God’s people: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you… and give you peace.”
But what does it mean to trust that promise today? What does it mean to believe that God is truly with us, and not just in the big, heroic moments, but when life feels confusing, messy, lonely, or unfinished?
This summer at Synod Youth Workshop, we’ll spend the week exploring what it means to live with the confidence that God’s presence goes with us wherever we are. Together, we’ll reflect on how God is with us when we don’t know who we are, when everything feels messed up, when we feel alone, when we step out to do something good, and when it’s time to return home and live out our faith in the real world. So as we gather this summer, we listen again for God’s ancient and enduring promise:
May the Lord be with you.
