FEAR.
"BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID OR TERRIFIED BECAUSE OF THEM, FOR LORD YOUR GOD GOES WITH YOU; HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU " (Deuteronomy 31:6)
Perhaps you are wondering just how serious your situation is. You may be fearing the worst, or you may already know the worst. And that may make you afraid - afraid of today, afraid of tomorrow, afraid of what will happen to you. Or you may be afraid of what will happen to your loved ones if you don't make it, if you don't get better. Does God understand those fears? Does He really care when you're afraid? Of course He does.
That's why He promises that He will never leave you. He assures you that He will never forsake you, no matter how rough the way may be. Tomorrow may be uncertain, but the promises of God are not. Do not let fear of the unknown take away tho comfort of that which is sure!
But now, this is what the Lord says- He who crated you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze" (Isaiah 43:1-2).
