The problems in this world can be overwhelming at times. Perhaps you are in such a difficult situation that you think it will tear you up. Circumstances can make a person feel alone. Then know that there is Someone, who is willing to listen to you, day and night, and who is in control of everything.
Jesus' disciples were once in a storm in their ship. They were in distress. They thought they were on their own and that they would go under. Terrified, they also think that a spirit is walking towards them on the sea. It is Jesus and He says:
“Be of good cheer, it is I; be not afraid.” Matthew 14:27.
“Oh, how much “It is I” means! It means everything to us when we are in trouble or perplexities. Can you not hear His voice? Can you not hear Him saying, “It is I; be not afraid”? ... He is addressing Himself to us. Whatever your weakness or trial, Christ is near you. He says, “It is I, be not afraid.” ... Did ever anyone lift [his] hands to Jesus and say, “Save, Lord, or I perish,” and He pass [him] by? Never, never! He is a Jesus that hears the faintest cry. We need none of us faint or cry or be discouraged. We need not faint, for like Peter, we may look to the darkness and trials around us.... The Lord took the hand of Peter and he was saved. And thus we have a Saviour and in every trial we are to trust in the Lord God of Israel and He will be our Helper.”
“Reflecting Christ,” Dec. 8.
Services
Word and Well-being has several services available. You can find these in the menu above under ‘diensten’. One of these services is downloads. These files are available for free. You also do not have to fill in any personal information, such as an e-mail address.
This new download bundles Bible verses that show you that God is always willing to listen to you and that He guides your life. The Bible verses are divided into the following paragraphs:
• God listens to our prayers
• Divine guidance

Precious promises
We may claim the encouraging promises contained in the Bible. The Lord does not pass us by. Never! “For he is faithful that promised.” Hebrews 10:23.
Are you someone who needs the encouragement that God will listen to you and guide your life? Prayerfully study the Bible verses collected in the download.
You may not need these scriptures for yourself, but you could use one or more of the verses to comfort or strengthen a family member, friend, or fellow believer.
Extra tip: make the Biblical promises personal by putting your own name in the Bible verse, or the name of the person with whom you share the text. This way the text will speak to you even more.
Prayer
Do you have concerns and uncertainties, and would you like us to pray with you? That is possible! Via the button below you can request prayer for your loved one and / or for yourself at Word and Well-being. Of course, the information you share will be treated confidentially and will never be passed on to third parties.
