The phrase “Jehovah Ezer,” meaning “Jehovah our help,” is a powerful expression of God’s role as our source of strength, comfort and support. He is our Helper and Comforter; the ever-present present help in times of great trouble, distress, temptation and trials.
Jesus told His disciples that he would not leave them alone and helpless, but would send the Helper, the Holy Spirit to teach, help, counsel and comfort them (and us today) Through the Holy Spirit, he is always with us.
