Isaiah 41:13

“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you do not fear; I will help you.”

In today’s world it is easy to be overwhelmed and develop fear of a multitude of things. God does not want us to be fearful or filled with fear. He is there for us to hold our hand, just as a good father would. When we start to be overwhelmed, we need to reach up and take God’s hand that He is offering us. I have had my fair share of fear over the years, especially recently due to COVID and just the general mindset of today’s world, when I remember to look up for help, my fear is calmed, and I do not feel so overwhelmed. I do not always remember to do that, it’s a struggle for me at times. I am a work in progress and God still loves me just the way I am. Are you reaching for God’s hand?

Dear Lord, thank you for your concern and care for me. Please help me to remember to look to you and not my circumstance. Help me to take your hand and lean into you for help. I praise your name Lord. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen
