Do Not Fear

 

​

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." – Isaiah 41:10

Reflection

Fear has a way of creeping into our hearts, whether through uncertainty, challenges, or the unknowns of life. But in Isaiah 41:10, God speaks directly to our fears and reassures us of His presence, strength, and help.

When we face trials, our first instinct may be to panic or feel overwhelmed. Yet, God’s command is clear: Do not fear. Why? Because He is with us. Fear loses its power when we focus on the presence of God rather than the problem before us.

He not only tells us not to fear, but He also makes a promise—He will strengthen us, help us, and uphold us. We are never alone in our struggles. God’s righteous right hand is strong enough to carry us through every battle and tender enough to comfort us in our weakness.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for being with me in every moment. When fear tries to take hold, remind me that You are my strength and my help. I choose to trust in Your presence rather than the uncertainty of my circumstances. Uphold me today with Your righteous right hand. In Jesus' name, Amen.
