“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT)
During a difficult season in life, I kept finding verses in the Bible that assured me of God’s presence.
“Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” (Genesis 28:15 ESV)
“Fear not, for I am with you.” (Isaiah 41:10 ESV)
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” (Isaiah 43:2 ESV)
“I am with you, declares the Lord.” (Haggai 1:13)
“Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20 ESV)
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5 ESV)
The essence of all these verses is the same.
God’s promise: I will be with you.
This made such an impression on me that I wrote it down on tiny slips of paper and hid it all over the house. I wedged them in cabinets, baseboards, mirror frames, books, under shelf liners, sofa cushions, mattresses, etc. Years later, I still find these little reminders. I am reassured that God is with me, no matter what.
