He Will Never Forsake Us

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Deuteronomy 31:8

We all walk through dark times. Through dark paths where it feels like there is no light. We all feel broken and beaten down. We all wonder if and when the pain will end.

And then there comes a light. A breakthrough. A moment when we feel a sense of peace and calm.

God doesn't abandon us in the hard times, but he holds us. He walks us through them. He is with us through all of the hurt and confusion. He knows our suffering. He loves us.

God is the light. He is the one who gives us peace. And we can trust in him always because he will never abandon us.

When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way.
Psalm 142:3a

God Is With Us, So Be Still, And Have Hope

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

When You Pass Through The Waters...

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43:2

God is with us today and he will be with us tomorrow.

He knows our pain and struggles and the things we keep hidden.

God loves us. He protects us. He is always with us.

Are there times when it is hard to see that? Yes. But that doesn't make it any less true.

So hold on during your struggles. Hold on and seek him. He will never let you down. He will never let you go.

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:10
