CONQUER FEAR

Isaiah 41:13
I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, “Fear not, I will help you.”
--------------------------------------------

One way or the other, we fear something… or someone. I, myself, have a fear of height. I still remember when we were doing some mountain climbing in China. I have to quit and go down because I cannot bear it anymore. My body is trembling, that I have to go down slowly.

But it is great to feel the tapping on my shoulder when we reached the ground, with my wife and kids telling me that it is okay now.

We go through life with lots of fear in life. It even came to a point for some that they would commit suicide just to escape problems in their lives. And this is just because no one tapped him on his shoulder and say, “don’t worry it would be alright.”

Feel the tap on your shoulder, for the Lord God is telling you that all would be alright. He is continually grasping your right hand in times of trouble and problems.

When we have a relationship with God, we can rely on His promises. We can be strong and of good courage. We can fear nothing because God is with us, He will not fail us, nor forsake us.

This is His promise. And as a faithful God, we need to have faith in Him.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, help me overcome fear of man and of the unknown. May I look up to you and seek Your mighty name so I may not be afraid of being alone, not to be afraid of being too weak, not to be afraid of not being heard, and not to be afraid for our physical necessities. I know I can, because I have put my total trust in You. Amen +

The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great kindness.
