I am with You

Lately, I have been doing my quiet time more frequently because I find myself having so much peace about everyday life when I make it a priority. As I read more and more, I find myself constantly coming across passages that God reassures us that He will never leave us. How reassuring to know that He will never abandon us, even when times get so rough and sometimes feel unbearable. He is there for us arms wide open ready to help us and carry our burdens. Isaiah 43:2 paints a beautiful picture of the help God provides us in desperate times of need. It says," When you're in over your head, i'll be there with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end." That verse is highlighted marked all up because MAN how much comfort does that bring you? It let me know that even when i am in rough waters or in over my head and life seems to all be falling apart, He will be there through it all carrying us. I am a huge believer that scripture is God breathed and so incredibly helpful so, I want to provide you with some of my favorite verses that I hope and pray bring you the peace and comfort you are looking for. 

Isaiah 41:10
"I've picked you. I haven't dropped you.' Don't panic. I'm with you. There is no need for fear for I'm   your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you."

Isaiah 52:12,15 
"I, I'm the one comforting you. What are you afraid of?"
"For I am your God, your very own God, who stirs up the sea and whips up the waves, named God-of-angel-armies. I teach you how to talk, word by word, and personally watch over you." 

Nahum 1:7-8 
"God is good, a hiding place in tough times, He recognizes and welcomes anyone looking for help, no matter how desperate the trouble. But cozy islands of escape He wipes right off the map. No one gets away from God."

Deuteronomy 31:7-8 
"Be strong, Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He is right there with you. He won't let you down; He won't leave you." 

Hebrews 13:5-6 
"I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," we can boldly quote, "God is there, ready to help; I'm fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?" 

There are so many more verses in the Bible that talk about Him never leaving us, but these are some of my favorites. I find myself constantly going to scripture when rough times do come and I feel like I am drowning. The more you read and dive in to what God says about how to tackle this crazy life, i promise you, you will feel a million times better. You will be ready to face what you are going through head on because you have the one who is the ULTIMATE helper on your side. When you feel like you can't stand any longer, get on your knees and He will give you the strength to stand up.
