Strength in 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 (NIV)
When we feel as if we are falling apart with worry, God promises not just to be near us, but to actually “uphold” us. The Bible says God will “uphold” us. To me, that means when our knees feel weak from worry, He literally “hold us up” so we can take the next step. You don’t have to find the strength within yourself today; you only have to lean on His.
Write out “I am with you” on a sticky note, index card, or paper. Put in on your mirror, computer, etc. Anywhere you have access to it throughout the day. Use it as a visual reminder when you are feeling overwhelmed and remember His promise.
