Every day I can find good reasons to be fearful. Circumstances are beyond my control. We are living in uncertain times. Some kind of danger seems to be everywhere. The news is full of ominous events. Friends and family members are suffering. I don’t know what to do about so much of these things.
In the midst of all this turmoil, I find solace. God has given precious promises to guide me and see me through the foreboding circumstances that confront me. For instance, Isaiah 41:10 says, “fear not, for I am your God; be not dismayed, for I am with you; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
As a child of God, I can trust God to remain with me always. Because He is with me, I can know that He will strengthen me, help me, and hold me in His hands. He has more power than anything that might threaten me and He loves me. I have nothing to fear, because what can man or circumstances do to me?
