“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
This world is so scary sometimes. I had to stop watching the news because it was so depressing. Fear is something we battle our whole lives. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man, woman, or child. It hits us all and we find ourselves scrambling for cover.
God knew we were going to be running around freaking out a good majority of our lives. He tells us what to do instead. He has provided a way to walk this life with peace of mind and calmness in our hearts.
God is with us. He will help us. He will lift us up with His hand. He is our refuge. Our strength. He is our present help in trouble. He goes before us. He will never leave us. His love extends to the heavens. Nothing can separate us from Him.
Dear God, please replace my fearful heart with a heart of courage and faith today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
