 “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/isa.41.13.NIV 
 What a beautiful and comforting verse! The Lord's promise to hold our right hand and not let us fear is a powerful reminder of His presence, love, and guidance in our lives.

In this verse, God is saying that He will take an active role in helping us through the struggles and challenges we face. Just as a person might take someone else's right hand for support, stability, and guidance, so too does God reach out to us with His own loving grasp.

The phrase "Do not fear" (or "fear not") is repeated throughout Scripture, emphasizing that our Lord is always near, watching over us, and ready to help. In times of uncertainty or anxiety, we can cling to this promise and trust in the Lord's ability to guide us through even the most difficult circumstances.

What a wonderful verse to meditate on when facing fear, anxiety, or uncertainty! Do you have any specific concerns or struggles that this verse speaks to?
