Pup, here is a devotional I wrote that you could send out one day:
Third man syndrome is a reported condition where an unseen presence provides support and encouragement during life or death experiences. It is most commonly experienced by mountain climbers, but has also been reported by sailors, shipwreck survivors and polar explorers.
One such case was Sir Ernest Shackleton during his Antarctic expedition, in which he describes having this presence with his men while they remained trapped in the ice for two years.
Not sure about third man syndrome, but the Lord walks beside us through our hardships, too, and if we ask Him into our hearts, He never leaves our side.
Psalms 16:18
“I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.”
Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Give it some thought,
Joshua
