Life has a way of bringing about circumstances that appear questionable, overpowering, or even frightening. Money trouble, a health fright, relationship issues, or simply not knowing your calling—fear can move in quickly. But this verse is a promise from God’s own heart: You are not alone.

God speaks to your discouragement and fear. He doesn’t just say “don’t fear” as a command. He says why: “I am with you.” His presence is peace for you. His strength is your support. He promises to help and support you when you are no longer strong enough to do so yourself.

Maybe you are weak or unsure today. Breathe deeply, and take rest in the fact that God is holding you up. You don’t have to be strong enough. He already is.

🙏 Prayer

Dear Father, Thank You for always being present. When I am afraid or getting overwhelmed, just remind me that You are present. Make me be strong today. Help me trust Your strength and not mine. I leave all my fear and doubts in Your hands. Stand me up in Your righteousness and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
