Psalm 139 tells us that no matter where we go, God is there. God’s ever-presence means that divine power, intelligence, and comfort are always with us. Within this tangible presence, help is available, and we can feel secure and safe.
Moses and the Israelites found this to be true in their journey in the wilderness. Food and water were provided directly from God, and their clothes and shoes did not wear out (see Exodus 16:12–15, Numbers 20:11, and Deuteronomy 8:4). These accounts inspire us to see that no matter our circumstances, whatever we need is already at hand and will be revealed as we turn to God in prayer.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy says, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (p. 494). And another passage, also from Mrs. Eddy’s writings, has helped me to understand how God, divine Love, meets our human needs: “God pities our woes with the love of a Father for His child,—not by becoming human, and knowing sin, or naught, but by removing our knowledge of what is not” (No and Yes, p. 30).
