Rest Easy...God's Got This!
Posted on Sep 17, 2024 by Jenny Bender
Fear can be a heavy burden, weighing us down and keeping us from experiencing the fullness of life God has planned for us. It’s so easy to let our minds spiral into worry about the future, our relationships, or even our own abilities. But in Isaiah 41:10, God reminds us, “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.” This promise reassures us that we’re never alone in our struggles. When we lean into God’s presence, we find the strength to face our fears head-on.
There’s something incredibly freeing about surrendering our worries to God. In Philippians 4:6-7, we’re encouraged not to be anxious about anything but to present our requests to God. When we do this, the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guards our hearts and minds. It’s like a protective shield against the chaos of the world. We can choose to trust that God is in control, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. So, let’s take a moment to breathe and release those fears, knowing that God’s got our back.
As we walk through life, let’s remember the words of 2 Timothy 1:7, which tells us that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Fear can be paralyzing, but it doesn’t have to define us. Instead, let’s embrace the courage that comes from our faith. Each time fear tries to creep in, we can remind ourselves of God’s promises and choose to step forward in faith. With God by our side, we can face today’s challenges with confidence, knowing that He’s always working for our good.
