Fear not

Isa 41:10  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.

 One of the most oft repeated commands in the Bible is “Fear not”.  God is the reason we can overcome our fears. He has promised to keep us, to help us, to strengthen us and to uphold us by His power.  This passage tells us to not fear or be dismayed, because He is with us.  He said “I am your God”.  What a promise!  What a strength and confidence to face the future!
