Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

—Joshua 1:9

How comforting it is to know that wherever we go God is there with us. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations and we wonder if God is there, is he even paying attention to what we are currently going through? We may feel so alone and even depressed. We can't feel God's presence, and we need His guidance and help. Sometimes it may seem like no one understands what your feeling or what your going through. Sometimes you don’t want someone to call you up and say “what’s going on” because to explain it to someone else isn't possible, or you fear they will down play what your feeling. But your not really alone, for HE is there HE cares. God told Joshua to be strong and to have courage. Then He told him a wonderful truth: "The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Yes, that's right… wherever! We don't have to feel all alone. God is with us. He is working out the problems, and we don't even realize it.

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand-up. You know my every thought when far away. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!

—Psalms 139:1-6
