Jeremiah 1:8

I am with thee. God promised to assist and protect His prophet. The consciousness that God was with him raised Jeremiah above his timidity and fear and made him invincible. He was assailed by many powerful foes, and was often in extreme peril because of his unpopular teachings and his bitter condemnation of wickedness; but this promise, repeated at least twice (chs. 1:19; 15:20), must have been a source of tremendous strength and comfort to him. Similarly the far-reaching of Jesus, “I am with you alway” (Matt. 28:18-20), has brought courage and strength to Christians who have sought to obey the great gospel commission.
