Why Are You Afraid?
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

Rejoice and shout hallelujah to the LORD GOD the ALMIGHTY.
For HE is with you.
So why are you afraid?
Is there anything too big for the LORD to do for you?
Is there anything too small for the LORD to do for you?
Is HE not the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth?
And HE has said to you, “I am with you always, to the close of the age.”

So why are you afraid of the enemy and all his propaganda?
Instead rejoice and be happy, for the LORD is with you and HE cares for you so much than you can think of.
For HE is bigger than all your circumstances or situations. And with HIM all things are possible.

So my dear, rejoice and shout hallelujah to the LORD GOD the ALMIGHTY.
Give HIM praise and thanks forever; for HE is with you and HE cares for you.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
For the LORD is with you.
Emmanuel! Emmanuel! Emmanuel!
GOD WITH US!

Well, as a general answer from what people experience around the world:

Because "God is with you" doesn't feel true
- when the bullies surround you at school and no one lifts a finger to stop it
- when people control and abuse others in the name of God
- when one prays and prays and prays and see no sign of an answer
- when the "good guys" experience difficulties and the "bad guys" win
- when we are "fed" hate, fear and manipulation in TV, newspapers, discussion forums, comment sections etc etc

I mean.... if a person said "trust me", and then stoop by and watched people get murdered, people would stop trusting that person, right? I think that is what makes it hard for people to trust God sometimes. Even if we know it is our sin that causes all this evil, we know that God can stop it, and we are left wondering why he does not. (We already know he can interfere with free will at least to some extent)

It's like I understand the praise and glory shared by GOP and then too, I understand our smart Kilden. I kind of hate to admit this, but sometimes I imagine that like God tries different scenarios. Like He controls the space/time continuum of events and manipulates different conclusions - like some small imperceptible difference sequencing an entirely different outcome. Like a pebble falling in a pond and the waterwave band drastically changed by a tiny fallen branch. Then He chooses His outcome best suited to His need. His ultimate goal. His omnipotent Plan.

Then again, I think maybe He just lets us do what we're going to do and lets out waves distort themselves foreign to His Perfection; like the fallen branch doesn't exist in the Garden He created. The pond is perfect still; the water clear.

So, the bullied child commits suicide in the alternate conclusion. Or the bullied child commits suicide as this conclusion.

So.... I guess GOP asks questions too big for me and Kilden asks questions too big for me too. Alls I know is that neither goes unnoticed or untreated, I think. Or unloved.

Peace be with you bro in JESUS' NAME.
I understand what you are trying to say but the Truth is this, " GOD is SPIRIT and we can't feel HIM with our senses" That's why some people can't see HIM because they want to use their senses. Faith is Spiritual. Again, those who trust in GOD and love HIM, all things work together for their good. I'm saying what I have experienced in my life and see it also in the lives of others.
That's why I tell you rejoice and gave HIM Praises. HE is with us and HE never fails. His Word in the Bible never fails.
