How do we know that Jesus is with us in times of trouble?

The assurance that Jesus is with us, especially during times of trouble, is rooted in His promises found throughout Scripture. Matthew 28:20 explicitly states, 'Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.' This promise is echoed in the experiences of biblical figures such as Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, who all faced immense trials but found that God was with them through every hardship. Additionally, believers throughout history have affirmatively testified to God’s presence in their lives, even amidst suffering. This consistent biblical theme of God’s faithfulness encourages us in our struggles, assuring us that He does not leave us alone in our trials.
