JOSHUA 1:1-9
“Lord, be with me.” This is a common phrase in many prayers. Someone harshly referred to it as a “mindless prayer.” While I do not agree with that description one hundred percent, it is clear from Scripture that God has already promised not to leave us.
God made this promise to Joshua just before he led the Israelites into the Promised Land (Joshua 1:5). The author of Hebrews later claimed it for all believers (Hebrews 13:5).
When we are doing God’s will, He will be with us even without our asking. If we are not doing His will, we need to ask for His forgiveness, change our ways, and follow Him.
God Himself is with us – He is our Saviour, Keeper and Friend. He will not forsake us, nor leave us till the end. We can be sure of that if we do His will.
🙏 Thank You Lord for Your presence. Teach us to continue to do Your will, for You are our God!
