Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you." So we can say with confidence,

"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"

Hebrews 13:5-6

Believe that God will never ever leave you.

Mourn your condition, pray to God, and realize that He loves you. Whether you have been forsaken by a friend, a child or a spouse, remember that God is with you and He will never test you or allow you to be tested beyond your limits.

Fear will leave us when we remember

that God is always with us.
