“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.” Isaiah 41:10(NIV)
What currently has you crippled with fear? Think hard and come up with just one thing right now. Fear has a way of creeping into our lives without us even realizing it many times. It could be fear of rejection, job loss, or failing a class – think about what it is in your life. Take a few minutes to write down what you are currently battling on a piece of paper.
Take the next few minutes and think about what would happen if that fear were to become reality. Write it down.
Now grab a red marker and as big as you can write BUT GOD to cover most of what you wrote. Stop and take a look at it again, focus on the words written with red marker over the top BUT GOD. What are you feeling, thinking?
Do you see how God can cover that fear? How would God change things? What would he provide as answers for you? Are you willing to hand it over to him and let him take that weight off of your shoulders and let him carry that burden?
Maybe giving it to him isn’t going to solve everything right at this moment. But God can give you the strength to get through it. He can carry you and give you the wisdom and discernment to move forward. He wants us to hold out our hand so he can grab ahold of it and help us move forward.
But God….two three letter, powerful words. Rest in his righteous hand. Feel his strength rush through you. Let him take the lead.
“Father, take my hand and let me feel your power rush through me. Let me feel your strength take over. I want to feel your presence Lord.”
For His Glory
