Again and Again

Isaiah 43:4-5 (GNT)
⁴ I will give up whole nations to save your life, 
      because you are precious to me 
      and because I love you and give you honor.
 ⁵ Do not be afraid—I am with you!


Oh, what an honor it is to know that my God and Lord is willing to give me the assurance NOT TO BE AFRAID.  That HE IS WITH ME regardless what situation I have or I am in.  Though this word was given to the Israelite, it applies to us in a sense that we are God's children and cares just as much.  


// Recently, I have been somehow fearful of many things.  It has been a season of "NEW."  As I begin to realize the new things that are ahead and are here now, I have also started over with a new set of skills and challenges that I need to start afresh.  Hence, at times, I do feel fearful to take on this new challenge; at times feeling inadequate.  BUT, this word where the Lord just reveals for me "NOT BE AFRAID - I AM WITH YOU," just gives me a huge reminder that HE IS WITH ME and I DO NOT NEED TO BE AFRAID.  Though I already know this truth, I need to apply this again in this situation as I need it again. AGAIN AND AGAIN I will need to be reminded and applying these principles.


// LORD, thank you for again, reassuring me that You are with me.  Help me to always just move with boldness and courage in this season of NEW.  I pray for Your power to overwhelm me that even if I "feel afraid," I will remain bold and calm knowing that Your peace is there to embrace my fears.  Thank you, thank you and thank you!  I love you In Jesus' name, amen.
