I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear, for I will help you." It is essential for you to recognize--and believe--that I am not only your Savior, I am also your God. Many people try to cast Me as a great human model, a martyr who sacrificed everything for others. But if I were only human, you would still be dead in your sins.

The only One who takes hold of your hand and calms your fears is the living God! Rejoice as you ponder this astonishing truth. Delight in the mysterious wonder of the Trinity--Father, Son, and Spirit--one God.

Take time to wait in My Presence, Tell Me your troubles; pour out your heart before Me. Hear Me saying, "Do not be afraid, beloved. I am here--ready to help you." I don't condemn you for your fears, but I do want you to displace them with hope and trust in Me. As you trustingly put your hope in Me, My unfailing Love rests upon you.

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, "Do not fear;
    I will help you."　

Isaiah 41:13

And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.　

Ephesians 2:1 (NKJV)

Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us　

Psalm 62:8 (NKJV)

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.　

Psalm 33:22
