You’ve got that thing looming, it’s coming up and you will have to face it. It’s big and you don’t want to. Perhaps it is an important meeting, a presentation, a hard conversation, an exam.
And God says:
I get why you are afraid. I get it. What if I go in with you? What if I go with you and I promise I won’t ever leave you to deal with any of it on your own? What if in the moment when you freeze or go blank I take over? What if when you don’t know what to answer I take over?
What if I do this with you?
What if this very thing you are afraid of, you don’t have to face it alone? What if I face it with you and remember, I’m a lot stronger than you or the problem so I’m really reliable. What if I could be strong for you? I promise you I will be there. I will go there too and I will step in. I promise I will be strong for you. I promise I will see you through it.
The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8
