Isaiah 43:1

“Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.”

God actually commands us not to fear, or worry. From Genesis to Revelation the Bible continually warns us and equips us against fear, most likely because He knows the enemy uses fear to decrease our hope and limit our victories. I’ve been a Christian for all my 47 years now, and I’m still in awe that God, who created the universe, cares about every detail of our lives. We belong to an all-powerful, all-knowing, victorious father who cares deeply about us. When we really meditate on this truth, it’s hard to remain fearful about the trials we face. By focusing on Him, and how He considers us his prized, redeemed ones, our focus naturally shifts from fear to faith. Jesus himself expressed fear to the point of sweating blood, so God understands fear is natural. But whatever you’re fearing- a health crisis, family problem, financial struggle- focus on the power of a God who calls you by name, and commands fear to flee from you heart.
