Isaiah 41: 10-14 (NIV)
"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. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. 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. Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."
In these verses, we are commanded not to be dismayed for God is with us. Regardless of the circumstances we must trust in God. At times we will feel scared and way out of our depth but as Christians, we have the knowledge and understanding to know our God is for us. These will be times we are called to take action and times we are called to stay still. We must be in tune with the Holy Spirit to determine which is which.
God will never leave us, even when friends and family distant themselves from us we can lean on Him. When we feel alone, misunderstood and scared, He is with us. We are not alone. God fights our battles for us. Whilst we are in the background praying for situations to change, He is at the forefront standing guard over our lives. He is our Protector, our Saviour, our Helper in times of trouble. He is interested in everything that concerns us, even those small things we choose not to discuss with others.
As you go about your daily lives, facing the challenges that come, remember you are not facing them alone. He is with you. Stay close to Him, talk to Him, include Him in the most intricate details of your life. Resist the urge to try and work through difficult situations on your own. Accept that you need Him, allow yourself to be vulnerable before Him.
