๐ŸŒบBeloved, the Bible repeatedly assures us believers that God is with us, promising to never leave or forsake us, to be a constant source of strength and help, and to provide comfort in times of trouble.

๐ŸŒบSome of the promises include God’s unwavering presence, especially in Christ, his promise to listen to prayers, his role as a protector, and his desire for believers to draw near to Him and remain in His love.

๐ŸŒบOur loving God is always there for us.

๐ŸŒบGod promises to be with His people wherever they go, as seen in Deuteronomy 31:8 and Joshua 1:9, stating He will not leave or abandon us.

๐Ÿ“’Deuteronomy 31:8 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed.โ€โ€

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ฌ

๐ŸŒบThe Lord is there when we are in tears from oppression, grief or brokenness.

God promised to comfort us.

๐Ÿ“’Isaiah 66:13 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œAs one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem.โ€

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ฌ

๐ŸŒบWhen we feel that no one cares, we feel that we have no refuge, even endangered,

๐Ÿ“’1 Peter 5:7 AMP tells us

โญ•๏ธโ€œcasting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].โ€

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฌ

๐ŸŒบWhen we seek someone to have compassion on us or looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

๐Ÿ“’Matthew 15:32 Jesus said, I have compassion for the crowd

โญ•๏ธโ€œThen Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, โ€œI feel compassion for the crowd, because they have been with Me now three days and have nothing [left] to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, because they might faint [from exhaustion] on the way [home].โ€

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ฌ

๐ŸŒบEven when we have not been good and faithful to the Lord. I. Our flesh no one does good, not even one.

๐ŸŒบJesus went around doing well and healing everyone.

๐Ÿ“’Acts 10:38 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œhow God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power; and He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.โ€

๐ŸŒบHe also does good to the ungrateful, and even the wicked.

๐Ÿ“’Luke 6:35 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œBut love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพbecause He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked.โ€

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐š๐ฒ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐œ๐ž๐๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ฌ

๐ŸŒบWhen we cannot find anyone to stand, pray and intercede for us,

๐Ÿ“’1 John 2:1 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œMy little children (believers, dear ones), I am writing you these things so that you will not sin and violate Godโ€™s law.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพAnd if anyone sins, we have an Advocate [who will intercede for us] with the Father: Jesus Christ the righteous [the upright, the just One, who conforms to the Fatherโ€™s will in every wayโ€”purpose, thought, and action].โ€

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐‡๐ž๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฌ

๐ŸŒบWhen we have no human help for us, and there is no help from anyone.

๐Ÿ“’Isaiah 50:7, 9 AMP tells usโ€ฆ

โญ•๏ธโ€œFor the Lord God helps Me, Therefore, I have not been ashamed or humiliated. Therefore, I have made My face like flint, And I know that I shall not be put to shame.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพIn fact, the Lord God helps Me; Who is he who condemns Me [as guilty]? Indeed, they will all wear out like a garment; The moth will eat them.โ€

๐ŸŒบAnother companion promise in times of trouble is:

๐Ÿ“’Psalms 46:1 AMP

โญ•๏ธโ€œGod is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble.โ€
