Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)

Fear and faith are completely opposed to one another. They cannot co-exist. God commands for His covenant people to “fear not” for “[He is] with you.” God promises to strengthen you when you need strength and to uphold you when you feel too weak to stand. There is no failure or fear in His care. If God is for you, who can be against you? Knowing that He is with you every step of the way will give you great comfort and confidence!
