Knowing we are never alone is a great blessing.
It means that in every valley, every dark night of the soul, every illness, every situation in life—we have the blessed presence of the Lord to sustain us and comfort us. [Matt. 28:20; Heb. 13:5].
When we can’t see God, the Lord is holding our hand.
Sometimes it’s hard to pray or we feel weak in faith.
That’s when we need to reach out to Jesus, whether to confess a sin or for assurance. He is there. He was there all the time.
Psalm 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Jesus, Hold My Hand

As I travel through this pilgrim land, — There is a friend who walks with me. — Leads me safely through the sinking sand, — It is the Christ of Calvary. — This would be my prayer, dear Lord, each day — To help me do the best I can; — For I need Thy light to guide me day and night, — Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
CHORUS:
Jesus, hold my hand, — I need Thee every hour. — Through this pilgrim land, — Protect me by Thy power. — Hear my feeble plea — O Lord, look down on me. — When I kneel in prayer — I want to meet You there, — Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
Let me travel in the light divine — That I may see the blessed way. — Keep me that I may be wholly Thine — And sing 'Redemption's Song' some day. — I will be a soldier brave and true — And ever firmly take a stand. — As I onward go and daily meet the foe, — Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
