God's foundational promise is His commitment to all believers. It is abiding presence is a reality. His abiding God's presence transcends all limitation. God is present in believers through The Holy Spirit. He is ever near and is present with His people.
He is especially close to those who call Him and He has promised to be present always with His people.

By asking God to help believers can conquer life challenges, if they allow the help of The Holy Spirit. God promises both Gentile and Jewish believers that they can be confident that He will always be with them, never forsake or abandon them, and never fail to help
no matter if a believer feels His presence or not.

God The Father, guarantees His present help and believers are to rely on His wisdom and strength and not their own. Jesus, The Son, also has promised that He will be with His disciples forever and will never leave them. God promises to direct, sustain and assure accomplishments.

 God is able to perform whatever He promises.
