He Always Walks with Me

I have since I was 17 had a profound belief that God is always with me and always has been, and recently I have felt as though I have much need of His presence, as I have an image in my head of the Lord walking with me holding my hand on the one side, the Holy Spirit walking with me holding my hand on the other side and our almighty Father God gently propelling me forward with His hand on my back, as I walk along with trepidation into a realm in which I have to trust in Him for my every need. But this is not an easy path, as many blessed friends have and are helping me spiritually, emotionally and even financially as I struggle through these personally challenging times, though my trials and tribulations are nothing compared to many others nor anything that was what the Lord Himself went through during His time on earth.

As I have felt so in need of His guidance, wisdom, courage and strength; today as I thought of my predicament, I came across this Psalm 20:

“May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble!
May the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from his Temple and give you aid from Mount Zion.
May he accept all your offerings and be pleased with your sacrifices.
May he give you what you desire and make all your plans succeed.
Then we will shout for joy over your victory
And celebrate your triumph by praising our God.
May the Lord answer all your requests.
Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his chosen king;
He answers him from his holy heaven
And by his power gives him great victories.
Some trust in their war chariots and others in their horses,
But we trust in the power of the Lord our God.
Such people will stumble and fall,
But we will rise and stand firm.
Give victory to the king Oh Lord;
Answer us when we call.”
