Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. (Isaiah 30:21 NLT) May we obey the LORD our God as He shows us the way in which we should walk and the thing we should do.

(Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT) “Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow.”  — Psalms 25:4 (NLT)

He Goes With You

“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.” — Deuteronomy 31:6 (AMP) Whatever challenges come your way, know that Yahweh, our Heavenly Father is with you.

O my strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love. — Psalms 59:16-17 (NLT)

Never Abandon Hope

Image
After many days of seeing neither the sun nor the stars, and with the violent storm continuing to rage against us, all hope of ever getting through it alive was abandoned. — Acts 27:20 (TPT) Never abandon hope. Just as God rescued the Apostle Paul and those traveling with him, He will also rescue you from all your troubles. Quiet your heart in his presence and pray; keep hope alive as you long for God to come through for you. (Psalm 37:7a TPT) Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you! (Psalm 27:14 TPT) The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18) This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary. — Hebrews 6:19 (NLT)

Do Not be Afraid

Declare His Lovingkindness

He Stands with You

Image
The first time I was brought before the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death. — 2 Timothy 4:16-17 (NLT) All others may desert you but remember, the Lord stands with you and gives you strength. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” “I will always be by your side.” (See Hebrews 13:5 NLT/VOICE) In the Amplified Bible, he says: “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you.” When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…  (Isaiah 43:2-3a NLT)

He is with You

God makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet. He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel. God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he’s rich in love. — Psalm 103:6-8 (MSG) God said to Joshua, “ No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you. ” (Joshua 1:5 NLT) Just as God was with Joshua, He is with you and He causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Come Back

Image
But even there, if you seek God, your God, you’ll be able to find him if you’re serious, looking for him with your whole heart and soul. When troubles come and all these awful things happen to you, in future days you will come back to God, your God, and listen obediently to what he says. God, your God, is above all a compassionate God. In the end he will not abandon you, he won’t bring you to ruin, he won’t forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them. — Deuteronomy 4:29-31 (MSG) Come back to God and listen to what He says. Wholeheartedly seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness. Strive after His heart and character, more than His hand and He will give you everything you need.

He Knows

For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’ — Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP) In the Message Bible, the LORD says: “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out —plans to take care of you, not abandon you…” (Jeremiah 29:11) Trust Almighty God, Who sees the whole picture. He has all your days written in His book and His plans for you are for peace and well-being. But [continue to] live in the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the LORD day by day. Surely there is a future [and a reward], and your hope and expectation will not be cut off. — Proverbs 23:17b-18 (AMP)

Plans for Good

“ For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. ” — Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) God has plans to take care of you, not to abandon you. The Amplified Bible says, He has plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster… (Jeremiah 29:11) Every detail of your life was already written in His book, before you had even lived one day. (Psalm 139:16) So He already has the solution to every situation. His plans for you are good. If what you see at the moment does not “look” good, know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28 NLT) And remember we do not live by sight (what we see) but by faith (what we believe). Believe God and His Word. Our heavenly Father is good and He has good plans for you. Amen!

He is Near

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. — Psalm 23:4 (NLT) God’s a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax;  (Psalm 9:9 MSG) Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. (Psalm 9:10 NLT) Seek the LORD every moment of the day. Daily determine to do His will. For He has not forsaken those who genuinely seek Him. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near. — Psalm 23:4b (TPT)

Never Forgotten

Image
Eternal One: Is it possible for a mother, however disappointed, however hurt, to forget her nursing child? Can she feel nothing for the baby she carried and birthed? Even if she could, I, God, will never forget you. Look here. I have made you a part of Me, written you on the palms of My hands. Your city walls are always on My mind, always My concern. — Isaiah 49:15-16 (VOICE) Continually cast your cares upon the LORD for He cares for you. He has not forgotten about you. Thou everyone else may desert you, the LORD is with you. He will never abandon you nor forsake you. Jesus is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. He is our Constant Companion. Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider  that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me. — Psalm 139:17-18 (TPT)

Great is His Faithfulness!

It is because of the LORD’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. — Lamentations 3:22-23 (AMP) In difficult times, remember the faithfulness of our great God. Recall the troubles He has brought you through in the past. In 2 Timothy 4:16-17, the Apostle Paul said: “ At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me …” God shows no favoritism (Acts 10:34 NLT). When others abandon you, He stands with you and strengthens you. Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! (2 Timothy 4:18 NLT) “ Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the LORD your God spoke co...

He Stands by You

Image
At my first trial no one supported me [as an advocate] or stood with me, but they all deserted me. May it not be counted against them [by God]. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened and empowered me, so that through me the [gospel] message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion. — 2 Timothy 4:16-17 (AMP) Everyone else may abandon you, but the Lord stands by your side. He empowers us to complete the assignment given to us. Jesus is our Advocate. He is a very present help in trouble. Rely on Him and you will be rescued! God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1 (NASB)

He is by your side

Image
Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” — Hebrews 13:5 (MSG) Jesus is our blessed assurance. Material things will not last and only Jesus can truly satisfy. God will never fail you, nor abandon you. Even when He seems far away, know that He is right beside you. And when you can’t see Him working, you can be assured that He is working everything together for good to bring about His perfect plan and purpose for your life. So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6 NLT)

Ready to Rescue

Image
Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you. If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath. — Psalm 34:17-18 (MSG) Never believe the lies of the enemy. Our heavenly Father is faithful. He has not forgotten about you and He will never abandon you. He hears your cry and comes to your rescue. The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17 NLT) The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me; My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold. — Psalm 18:2 (AMP)

Don’t Give In

Image
“Simon, stay on your toes. Satan has tried his best to separate all of you from me, like chaff from wheat. Simon, I’ve prayed for you in particular that you not give in or give out. When you have come through the time of testing, turn to your companions and give them a fresh start.” — Luke 22:31-32 (MSG) You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. (2 Timothy 2:3 NKJV) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. (John 10:10) Satan wants to separate us from our God, the source of our strength, wisdom and power. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail. Keep fighting the good fight of faith. Finish the race. Keep the faith. Even if all abandon you, remember that the Lord Jesus stands by your side.

Lavish Forgiveness

Image
“Seek GOD while he’s here to be found, pray to him while he’s close at hand. Let the wicked abandon their way of life and the evil their way of thinking. Let them come back to GOD, who is merciful, come back to our God, who is lavish with forgiveness.” — Isaiah 55:6-7 (MSG) If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) He removes our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. (Psalms 103:12) Instead beating yourself up over past mistakes, decide to seek the wisdom of God at this present moment. Seek our merciful God while He may be found. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 NASB)

He will Work it Out

Image
Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. — Psalm 138:7-8 (NLT) You may be surrounded by troubles today, but be confident that the LORD will work it out. The LORD’s plan and purpose for your life will prevail over the evil one. Though you walk in the midst of trouble, He is with you and will protect you. Because of His faithful love, He will not abandon the works of His own hands.
