Everyone faces moments of fear and uncertainty – times when we feel completely alone in our struggles. Drawing from the powerful promise in Deuteronomy 31:8, this episode explores God's unfailing presence in our lives and how this truth can transform our approach to daily challenges.

Fear has a way of whispering lies, convincing us we're abandoned and on our own. But Scripture offers a different narrative – one where God personally goes ahead of us, preparing the way through difficulties before we even encounter them. More than that, He walks beside us in real-time and promises never to abandon us, regardless of what lies ahead.

This episode unpacks the three-dimensional nature of God's presence: His preparation before us, His companionship beside us, and His commitment to never leave us behind. We discuss practical ways to remind yourself of this truth when anxiety strikes, including the simple but powerful practice of keeping the phrase "The Lord is with me" visible in your daily environment. When fear tries to take over, these reminders serve as anchors for your soul.

Whether you're facing major life transitions, dealing with relationship struggles, or simply navigating the everyday pressures of modern life, knowing you're not alone changes everything. Join us as we explore how to live with genuine confidence – not based on your own strength, but on the assurance that the Creator of the universe walks with you through every moment. Subscribe to Wisdom for the Day for daily spiritual refreshment and guidance that helps you embrace each day with renewed faith and courage.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
