June 30 Devotion - God is with me

“I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!”

اللهَ يَقُولُ: لاَ أَتْرُكُكَ، وَلاَ أَتَخَلَّى عَنْكَ أَبَداً

Hebrews 13:5

God continues to extend His hand to us each day to soothe our damaged emotions and our heartaches.

I sometimes feel God is distant however it is not true. God said that He will not in any way fail me nor give me up nor leave me without support.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever—

وَسَوْفَ أَطْلُبُ مِنَ الآبِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكُمْ مُعِيناً آخَرَ يَبْقَى مَعَكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ،

John 14:16

The Holy Spirit is God inside us. He is called the Comforter meaning “one called alongside to help and aid.”

When we are down, the Holy Spirit knows exactly how to encourage us. When we are grieving, the Holy Spirit knows the balance between shedding tears of grief and gently wiping them from our cheeks. He is at work to comfort us through every adversity.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting, and inseparable love for me. Thank You Lord that I am not alone to go through any difficult time and that The Holy Spirit indwells in me comforting me and helping me. Sooth my emotions Lord and strengthen me. I thank You that You are a reliable and trustworthy God and You promised that You will never leave me nor forsake me, and I know that You are faithful. I choose today to concentrate on You, to hold fast my confession that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and in His mighty name I pray. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
