"Believe me, if you knew who is with you, you would not fear anything the world has to offer." St. Macarius the Great

One of the common themes throughout the Scriptures is the promise of God to be with his people. His word to Abraham was that God would be with him throughout his journey. His word to the prophets was that he would be with them as they proclaimed his message to the Chosen People. Jesus himself told us that he would be with us till the end of the ages. Do we believe in his word? Do we act on his word? He never said there would be no problems, but that he would be with us to deal with those problems. We are never alone. Turn to him, not only in times of need, but at all times. Be conscious of his mysterious presence.
