Did you ever lose your mom or dad while in a store when you were a child? Do you remember the panic and fear that you felt? Perhaps, thankfully, you didn’t, but you can imagine the terror that a child feels when they think they are left all alone in the world.

That may be the feeling you have when you think about your life. Problems and difficulties are all around you but it seems that you are all alone, abandoned, and forgotten. Do not be discouraged, because when someone has God on their side, they are never alone.

Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:8

Maybe you have been afraid, living in a constant state of panic because it seems that no matter what you try, nothing changes. Time and time again friends, family, the people you trust haven’t been able to give you the answers you are searching for.

Turn to God.

The verse encourages you not to be afraid because God will personally go before you when you ask Him for help. He won’t fail you, He won’t abandon you. When you trust in Him, He takes it very seriously. Turn to God, He won’t turn you away.

May the God of the Bible Bless you!
