*NOT ALONE*
*_And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age; Matt. 28:20, NIV._*
_When faced with a challenge or some disturbing situations, chances are that one gets afraid. And when it seems like there's no one around who would help you, your fear increases. On the other hand, knowing that you are not alone gives you great strength in spite of any 'great' mountain staring at you. Of course, when the one who's with you is the Almighty, you have every reason to be confident, hopeful and unperturbed._
_The devil constantly wants to paralyze you with fear. But as God's own, you have not received the spirit of fear; but of love, power and sound mind. God knows that being alone might give the devil the opportunity of attempting to torment or oppress you with fear. So, He assures you of His presence with you all the time! Our opening text says, "And *surely* I am with you *always*..." His presence with you is not a part-time affair. He is with you ALWAYS!_
_Beloved, the Holy Spirit is in you. He is your ever-present helper. Use this opportunity to enrich your faith and fellowship with Him. Take advantage of His presence and power to live a fear-free life at all times. Wherever you find yourself, the Lord is with you. And He is Lord over every raging storm or rabid devil. God's presence is all you need to be victorious over any negative situation in life. If you learn to master being conscious of His presence, you will start seeing your defeats defeated._
God bless you.
