Never Alone

September 09, 2026

“It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 (ESV)

There are times when we go through some things that we cannot tell anyone about. There are times when we try to tell someone what we are going through only to find out that they are not available, and we feel like we are all alone. There are those who try to be there for us, but when we articulate to them what it is we are facing, they cannot help or offer words of encouragement or advice, and we are still all alone. It is in these times we must realize that we are never alone, because The Lord is always with us. When we do not know how we are going to make it, we can take comfort in knowing that The Lord is there for us. The Scripture reminds us that, it is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. I encourage you today to remember that The Lord goes before you. The Lord will be with you wherever you go, and He will never fail or forsake you. When people cannot be there for you, remember that The Lord is always there for you. The Lord will go before you and open doors and make ways for you even before you get there. The Lord will keep you and bless you through trials and tribulations. The Lord will surround you with His goodness and mercy and take care of you. So, when you feel like you are all alone, and you feel like you cannot make it through the storms that you are facing, trust The Lord to see you through. Trust The Lord to make a way for you. Trust The Lord to never fail or forsake you, because there is no failure in God. When I feel like I am all alone, and feel like there is no one there, I know without a doubt that The Lord is always there and He will never fail or forsake me. Since I know The Lord goes before me and He surrounds me, and He will never leave me, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for going before me and making ways that I could not even imagine. Thank you for surrounding me every day with your goodness, grace, and mercy. I know that I would never make it without you, and I am grateful for all you do for me. Whatever I face, I will not be dismayed because I know you are there for me and I am never alone. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
