God will NEVER leave you or forsake you!

“For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.” (Psalm 37:28a)

I hear fellow Christians continue to pray something like, “Lord, go with us today,” even though He says clearly in His Word that he is always present with you, and that He will never leave or forsake you. Instead, I believe you should pray something like, “Thank you, Lord, for being always with me!”

Here are ten verses from God’s Word about His faithfulness to be always with you:

1) “‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.'”  (Deut. 31:6)

2) “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deut. 31:8)

3) “No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Joshua 1:5)

4) “May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers; may He never leave us nor forsake us.” (1 Kings 8:57)

5) “David also said to Solomon his son, ‘Be strong and courageous, and do the work. “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.'” (1 Chronicles 28:20)

6) “For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off.” (Psalm 37:28)

7) “For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.” (Psalm 94:14)

8) “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.” (Isaiah 41:17)

9) “I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.” (Isaiah 42:16)

10) “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’” (Hebrews 13:5)

Therefore…

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Cor. 3:16-23)

When you pray to receive Jesus, He comes to live inside of you. Everywhere you go, He is ever-present with you. That is a wonderful promise that should bring you great assurance and comfort.
