Just think—God is with us every moment of every day! He is with us when we are having a tough day or when we are experiencing the best day ever! He is our Friend Who never fails. He is that Friend Who goes with us when we are nervous about an appointment at the doctor’s office. He is with us when we are concerned about a sick loved one. He is with us when we are feeling sad or lonely.
I know I have close friends who I could call if I needed anything, but He is that Friend Who stays close to us no matter what happens! Proverbs 18:24 says, A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Read the words of the old hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”:
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Whether we are going through something difficult today or we are enjoying our best day ever, we can talk to our Friend Who never fails. He is with us and will never forsake us! We can talk to Him anytime! Deuteronomy 31:6 reminds us, Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
