"In the terrifying moments of life nothing can bring comfort to the hurting heart like the reality of God's presence and care. The psalmist David wrote, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me" Psalm 23:4
