The Lord Goes With You - Deut. 31:6

"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."  ~ Deuteronomy 31:6

God is always with us, right there with us.  When we're in the trenches with fear, we may feel that the only thing with us is whatever threat there is and our fear of it.  But God is there, too.  He is not standing there saying to us, "You should..., you ought...,  why don't you...?, what's the matter with you?"  He is tenderly with us, loving us, waiting for us to turn around and  be enfolded in His arms where He can comfort us and strengthen us to walk WITH HIM through whatever frightening thing we are facing.
