In our lives, we may often feel overwhelmed by circumstances and challenges. However, Scripture comforts us by reminding us that God’s presence is always with us. This verse reveals the assurance we find in knowing He is our present help in times of trouble (Psa 46:1). It’s essential to lean on this truth, especially during tough times, yes in times of trouble. If life feels heavy, we are encouraged to trust in God’s unwavering presence. 

Who better to lead us through the valleys of the shadow of death, who better to make a way for us but God our eternal everlasting and divine help. His promise means that even in our darkest hours, we are never abandoned; instead, we have a faithful unfailing, compassionate and loving God ready to assist us in every trial and every test. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
