Bible Verse
“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...”
— Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“Nothing is apparently more helpless, yet really more invincible, than the soul that feels its nothingness and relies wholly on the merits of the Savior.”
— Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 7, p. 17
Reflection
Fear is something we all feel fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of the unknown. But God speaks directly into that fear with comforting words: “Fear not… I am with you.”
When God says “I am with you,” He’s not offering distant encouragement He’s offering His presence, His strength, and His help. These are not just promises for someone else. They are for you, right now.
Think of a child lost in a crowded mall, overwhelmed by panic. The moment they see their parent running toward them, everything changes not because the situation is fixed, but because someone stronger is now by their side. That’s the kind of presence God promises.
Ellen G. White beautifully explains that the soul which feels helpless, but leans completely on Jesus, becomes invincible. Why? Because that person is no longer depending on themselves but on the One who has already overcome the world.
So whatever fear you face today face it with faith, not because you're strong, but because God is with you.
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
Lord, I admit I’m afraid of many things. But I choose to trust in Your presence. Remind me that I’m never alone. Strengthen me where I’m weak, and fill my heart with Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
