Here's today's in-touch devotion.
Today's scripture reading is Isaiah chapter 41 verses 10 through 13.
Do not fear for I am with you.
Do not anxiously look about you for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous
right hand.
Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored.
Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish.
You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them.
Those who war with you will be as nothing and nonexistent.
For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, who says to you, do not fear,
I will help you.
At some point, everyone experiences anxiety, but the good news is that we don't have to
become imprisoned to it.
Christians have tools and a helper to break that kind of bondage.
To confront and overcome our fear, we must first acknowledge its presence.
After admitting to being afraid, it's important to identify the nature of our worry.
Sometimes we feel anxious without knowing exactly why, but the Holy Spirit can reveal
what is holding us in chains.
The next step is to begin the process of defeating anxieties holding us, and there's no better
tool for breaking chains than the sword of the Spirit, the Bible.
God's Word speaks to many specific fears, for practical help use the concordance to find
verses that address your particular concerns.
When you feel anxious, pray Isaiah 4110 back to God and say, here's the promise you made,
and I believe it because you never lie, so I will trust you to work in this situation.
Trusting the Lord is the best way to be freed from fear.
Yes, our emotions are powerful, but we shouldn't allow them to run our life.
Instead, we can trust God's many promises, and know that we are safe in His loving care.
