God Is with You in Every Chapter
By Emily James
Have you ever faced a season where nothing seemed to go right? Doors closed. People let you down. Plans crumbled. It’s easy in those moments to ask, “God, where are You?”
We often believe the quiet lie that if God is truly with us, life will get easier. Yet Scripture shows us that God’s presence doesn’t always remove the trial, but it always carries us through it.
Consider Joseph. As a teenager, he was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and later thrown into prison. From the outside, it looked like God had abandoned him. But in Genesis 39, one phrase appears again and again: “The Lord was with Joseph.” Not just in the palace, but in the pit. Not just in success, but in suffering.
Joseph never confused God’s silence for His absence. He clung to the truth that God’s presence was with him, and that was enough.
God’s presence is not a comforting idea; it’s the very thing that sustains us. It won’t always remove pain or answer every question, but it will carry you through with strength you didn’t know you had.
Psalm 139:7 asks, Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
The answer is simple: nowhere. God is with you in every chapter of your story, right now, in the middle of whatever you’re facing.
So, take a deep breath. You are not walking alone. And when you hold onto that truth, His presence truly becomes all you need.

God Is Always With You
Fear has a way of whispering lies, telling us we’re forgotten, unseen, or abandoned. But the truth is, God has never left your side. When fear creeps in, shift your focus, not on what’s missing, but on the One who never leaves. His presence gives peace even in uncertain times.
