Actually, Help is right beside you--you do have your Bible at your side, right? Think again--Look inward. That's where your Savior resides, right? I hope you're not one of those out of sight, out of mind folks, because fear is lurking just around the next corner you pass, but keep on walking right by. Your Companion, the Holy Spirit, is undefeated by fear, adversity, hatred, threats of every kind and Hell itself. So, like I said, kick it to the curb and its author Satan with it! Help is with you--you never leave Home without it, right?
Just in case you left home in a hurry, stick these verses in your go-pack (and be more careful tomorrow so you're not caught up short again! Your enemy is strong and will not give up this world, or you, without a long, bloody battle)

note: I'm sure you are aware that God repeats an important message 2-3 times. Looking at the references above, you think this must be a VERY important thing to carry with you?
