For I hold you by your right hand, I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.
- Isaiah 41:13
Hear the Lord saying to you today, “Don’t be afraid, my beloved, I am here to help.”
Is there something in your life that has caused you to be afraid?
Is there something worrying you?
Do you feel alone and as if there is no one to understand or help you?
Regardless of whether we are able to sense Him by our side or not, it does not change the truth that He will never leave us and never abandon us.
In this life on earth, it is easy to be distracted by all the noise. It can be easy to feel as though you are alone in your journey.
While God never promises us a life without problems or challenges, He does promise us that He will never leave us during those tough times.
He promises to hold onto us and stay by our side even amidst fearful situations. He promises to strengthen us, protect us, and uphold us with His righteous right hand!
While the number varies depending on the translation, the phrase “fear not” is found over 300 times in the Bible! This is a constant reminder that we need not submit to fear and that we can trust in our savior.
Whenever you begin to feel fear and doubt creeping in, remember that you have authority over the power of the enemy! Tell Satan to get lost and remind yourself that the Lord is with you in that very moment, holding your entire world in His hands.
If you’ve struggled with being afraid lately, know that the Lord is speaking to you today in loving reassurance. He wants you to know He has not forgotten about you, He has not let go, and He certainly has never left you alone.
As you go through your day, be at peace knowing your Heavenly Father holds you by your right hand. As His beloved children, we are never too old or too independent to seek comfort from our Heavenly Father!
With Love,
