My child, sometimes when you face situations, you may wonder where I am. Let Me assure you, when you arise in the morning, I am with you. Throughout the day and even at night when you close your eyes and rest, I am still here. I want to give you a sense of My abiding presence, its depth and its breadth.
I called Samuel from a young age and taught him to hear My voice. I called Jeremiah and even though he felt he was too young to do My will, I cleansed his lips and prepared him for the task of a lifetime. During a time of drought, I sent Elijah to the Kerith Ravine to drink from a brook and used ravens to feed him, then on to Zarephath where a widow would provide food and water for him. When I called Gideon, I allayed his fears by allowing him to prove it was Me instructing him, by laying out fleeces.
It is Me, my child; I am calling you today. Let Me dispel your doubts and fears. Let Me assure you that I am always here with you. Irrespective of the circumstances, I will never leave or abandon you. I will bring solutions, instructions and directions to you in your situation.
Activation: Turn to the Lord and thank Him for His abiding presence and the fact that He is always with you. Tell Him about your situation. Ask for His direction and advice. Be still and listen to what He has to tell you. Thank the Lord and ask for the strength to follow His guidance.
11 “I, [only] I, am the Lord,
And there is no Savior besides Me.12 “I have declared [the future] and saved [the nation] and proclaimed [that I am God], and there was no strange (alien) god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses [among the pagans],” declares the Lord, “That I am God.13 “Even from eternity I am He,
Isaiah 43:11-13 (AMP)
And there is no one who can rescue from My hand;
I act, and who can revoke or reverse it?”
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it.
15 You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion!
16 You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!
Psalm 139:13-18 (TLB)
17-18 How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me.[a] And when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 (ESV)
