“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10.

Chaos, fear, and panic lead to irrational thinking and actions. Fear distorts our vision and takes it off God. The truth is that God is sovereign and has divine providence. Jeremiah 10:12 states, “He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.”

Facing the unknown with peace of mind is possible only through faith in God alone when fear creeps into our minds. We focus on the worst possible things that could happen; as a result, some suffer from mental anxiety and other illnesses that hold them in bondage to fear. But the Lord God Almighty can and will destroy any stronghold that grips the hearts of His beloved children. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;” 2 Corinthians 10:4.

God’s promise of His presence gives us all that we need to conquer our fears: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10. 

Let us hold to the truth that God is present with us at all times; He can and will give us strength and empowerment through the Holy Spirit to overcome all the obstacles that we encounter- and no, life doesn’t always happen according to our expectations. Still, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us…”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7.  

The chaotic circumstances that we presently face throughout this world are ever so daunting, but as Job 42:2 states, “I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.” God knows, He cares, and He will deliver us our to the snare of the enemy!

If your mind is at unrest, and fear is gripping you at the very core… remember that faith dispels fear every time, so cast all your cares on Him and hold to the truth that He has all power. He will keep you in perfect peace now and forevermore. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.

Blessings, peace, and hold to God’s unchanging hands!
