2103) Sometimes coping with a situation is overwhelming. You might feel your heartbeat rise, sweating hands and a dread filling your stomach.  

When these things happen, it’s difficult to move forward. Sometimes you need someone who will be there by your side, silently encouraging you to continue on this difficult pathway.  

There’s such comfort knowing you’re not alone and it’s often enough to give you courage to continue.  

Matthew 1:23 tells us Immanuel was born to Mary. Immanuel means, God with Us.  

Though we cannot physically see Jesus right there with us, faith reminds us he is.  

God himself is with us. Wow!
