Do Not Fear: The Lord is With You

The world is filled with struggle—loved ones die, kids get sick, parents lose their jobs, hearts get broken, nations go to war—this is the reality that we live in, but in the midst of a terrible world filled with pain and suffering, one thing remains: God is faithful.

Deuteronomy 31:8 states “It is the LORD who goes before you; he will be
with you and will never fail you or forsake you. So do not fear or be dismayed.”


Though we may suffer in this world Jesus is always with us throughout our suffering, ready to pick us up when we fall and comfort us in our hurting. When we cry, the Lord cries with us, and when we turn away from him, he never abandons us, but is always there with arms wide open offering us his unconditional love and mercy. Though often times we fail or lose faith and turn away from the Lord, Jesus remains constant and never turns away from us. When we falter Christ is there to be reconciled with us and never forsakes us for the wrong we have done, rather the Lord is always with us offering us his love and his grace abundantly without conditions. We can find comfort in knowing that God will always remain faithful and continue to offer his love and grace to us until the end of time. We can find strength in knowing that Jesus conquered the world and will never fail us, so we have no reason to fear or be dismayed.
