I am with you always

(John MacDuff, "The Christian's Pathway" 1858)

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed,
 for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you.
 I will uphold you with My victorious right hand." Is. 41:10 

The Divine presence is . . .
  the believer's strength in weakness;
  his support in suffering;
  his consolation in the hour of death. 

The blessed assurance, "I am with you," is sufficient to 
enliven every scene, and sweeten every condition. Its 
realization opens springs of joy in the cheerless waste 
of this desert world. The Divine presence . . .
  dissipates the thickest darkness,
  soothes the anguish of the keenest affliction, and
  lightens the heaviest load of poverty and distress. 

Reader, be anxious to possess an abiding consciousness 
of the great truth—that the eye of God is ever upon you!
Wherever you are, and whatever you are doing—set the 
Lord always before you. Having Him at your right hand, 
whatever difficulties and dangers may surround your 
path—you shall not be moved. 

"Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to
 the end of the age." Matthew 28:20
