Do Not Be Afraid, I Am With You
3 min read · Strength
Isaiah 41:10
Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Fear loves to tell us we are alone. God answers with a promise that has nothing to do with how brave we feel. He does not say the danger is small. He says he is near, that he will strengthen and uphold. Courage is not the absence of fear but the knowledge of who stands beside us. Take one small step today with that nearness in mind.
Today’s prayer
Faithful God, steady my hands and my heart. Remind me that you are here. Amen.
