Scripture:
“So do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
Reflection:
Fear loves to act like it runs the show.
One little thought turns into, “What if this goes wrong, what if they leave, what if I fail, what if everything falls apart and I end up living in a tent?”
Calm down, imagination. 
God never said we’d never feel afraid.
He said we don’t have to live afraid… because He’s with us, holding us up when we’re sure we’re about to face-plant.
You’re not being dramatic; life really is a lot sometimes.
But you’re also not helpless—because the One holding you doesn’t shake, doesn’t flinch, and doesn’t drop people.
Prayer:
Lord, when fear starts writing fake disaster stories in my head, remind me You’re right here with me. Strengthen me when I feel shaky, help me when I feel stuck, and hold me up when I feel like I’m about to crumble. My life is safer in Your hands than in my worries. Amen.
Declaration:
“I may feel fear, but I refuse to live in it—God is holding me steady today.” If you’re seeking more encouragement today, you may find comfort in our Devotions or be strengthened by our Verse of The Day or Prayers, offering Scripture to carry with you throughout the day.
