Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be afraid, for I am your God.

Isaiah 41:10 (NLV)

 

God is ever present with us in every circumstance and every change.

Just as God promised through the prophet Isaiah that He would be with His people during their exile, we can rest on God’s empowering presence in our lives. Though we may feel that way, God will never forget or forsake us. It is good to cultivate a habit of being with God and resting in His presence. This makes it easier to discern His Spirit’s gentle voice through His promptings and revelations.

Knowing that God is for and with us allows us to overcome all kinds of problems and difficult situations. While we may believe that our hardships and sufferings serve no purpose, we learn to recognise God's love and provision for our lives. It may not be easy, or even painful, but if you persevere and do not give up, good things will come.

Perseverance leads to preservation.

Our “comfort zones” can become “conflict zones” when we hinder God from letting us grow and mature into the person that He created us to be in Christ.

While we all experience fear as seasons change, but we do not let fear stop us from doing what we are called to do. As we push through our fear, we break the fallow ground of our hearts, allowing faith to flourish and bear fruits worthy of God's glory.
