Psalm 23:6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

We need “goodness and mercy” to follow us in our lives because we would fail without it.  We were never meant to walk through this life alone.  We were meant to walk hand in hand with the Father and be in a close relationship. Don’t let thoughts of doubt enter your mind that God has left you, he is with you always.   This life on earth is not the final step, and we have eternity with God.  Turn to God and let Him build you up.
