Isaiah 41:10 says: “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.”
Are you afraid of anything? I’m afraid of answering machines. You know, when you are all ready to speak to someone over the phone and suddenly you’re listening to a recorded voice that says something like: Please leave a short message and we’ll get back to you.
Your fear may be going to the dentist, speaking in front of an audience, or even the fear of spiders. Mmm…I have to admit I don’t like spiders. Whatever your fear is, we all have experienced times in our lives when we are afraid.
Today’s Bible verse gives us some hope when it comes to fear. It tells us to “not be afraid”. We don’t have to be afraid because we have a hope that others do not have. We know that God will strengthen us and help us in each situation that we face.
Our Father knows the future and the past and has boundless amounts of wisdom to help us in even the most difficult of times. God is on our side and He is always walking with us and through any situation that we might face we can see why He tells us to not be afraid. God won’t let us down, so we have no reason to be afraid.
Simple? No not at all but when you come face to face with your fear, remember that our Father is always with us.
Father, we thank you that you are with us even in times we have to face our fears. Help us to remember the words of promise that You are our God and that You will strengthen us and help us. Amen

Thank you for the encouragement. I needed this right now.
Cockroaches used to be my biggest fear but now it has been replaced with fear of bones breaking in their own.
But I need not fear. Our Father is in control .
Bless to you .

Nice . . . when I think of fear . . . I think about the bigger things . . . I am afraid of a lot of the little things like spiders, dogs chasing me, birds attacking me, bees stinging me .etc . . . it is nice to know I don’t even need to be fearful of this things either 🙂
