Isaiah 41:13: 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.
Today, was my first day doing a SIMS lab in the nursing program. The SIMS lab is a place where we deal with mannequins that act like humans and we have a scenario and we have to perform that scenario in front of our instructor. I was nervous, but then something came to my mind. "The Lord is my help."
After I heard this, I looked up the scripture and it was Isaiah 41:13. God is reminding us that he is here to help us. If we trust in him and we have faith God will help us and we don't have to be afraid. When we start losing our faith and not trusting in God, we will notice that we will start to get afraid, but God is telling us to not be afraid ... but you won't be able to not be afraid by what may come if you don't fully surrender to Jesus.
When we love Jesus, when we truly give him all of us, we don't have to be afraid of anything because we are trusting in the greatest father ever. If we don't live a life full of surrender, we will still be battling with fear.
When you give God all of you, you will notice a difference in your life. For example, you could have $30 in the bank, but have a bill due tomorrow. You see those $30 and you choose to pray and trust God through the process, because you know he will provide. The next day you were able to pay your bill.
We have to trust God and fully surrender to him and put our trust fully in him. It requires work, but we can do it! God is here to help us!
