John 11:4-11(NLT)
But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive glory from this.” So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days. Finally, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
But his disciples objected. “Rabbi,” they said, “only a few days ago the people[a]in Judea were trying to stone you. Are you going there again?”
Jesus replied, “There are twelve hours of daylight every day. During the day people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world.10 But at night there is danger of stumbling because they have no light.” 11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up.”

One Saturday I was having a problem logging into a site, that I had used many times over in the past few years to make purchases for my business.
After trying unsuccessfully several times, I decided to just call the company in hopes that someone would answer the phone.  I didn’t think that anyone usually worked there on Saturdays, but I was willing to give it a shot in hopes that just maybe,  someone other than a machine would answer the phone.  I know now however, that it was the Holy Spirit prompting me to just call anyway.

49 And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
Joshua 1:9(NKJV)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NET Bible)
The Lord is indeed going before you—he will be with you; he will not fail you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged!”ed.”
Psalm 23:4 (NLT)
Even when I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff  protect and comfort me.
