Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
“I Will Be With You”: Bible Verses That God Is With You
Throughout the Bible, God's most repeated promise may be the simplest: I will be with you. It was spoken to Moses, Joshua, the prophets and the disciples, often at moments of fear.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
A promise for fearful moments
God says it to Joshua before a daunting task, to Israel in exile, and Jesus says it to His disciples as He sends them out. The promise rarely removes the challenge; it changes who faces it with you.
