Monday, March 24 Isaiah 41:13

For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, `Do not fear, I will help you.`

NEVER LET YOU GO

There are moments in life when it feels like no one truly understands what we`re going through. Sometimes, it feels like no one is there to help, and loneliness can feel like it is just too much. But Isaiah 41:13 reminds us that God is always with us, holding our hand and promising to help us through every situation. Even when it feels like the world has turned its back, God never does.

I remember a time when I felt completely alone. There was a whole week where I felt like no one noticed how I was feeling, or even noticed that I was there. I tried to act like everything was fine, but deep down, I was struggling. It was one of those times when it felt like no one understood, and I started to believe that no one cared.

Then, one day, I felt something in my heart telling me to open the Bible. I hadn`t been reading it much, but this time, I listened. When I opened it, I came across verses that reminded me of God`s love and presence. It was like God was telling me, “You`re not alone. I`m here, and I`ll help you.” That moment reminded me that even when I`m down, God is always there, holding my hand through the hard times.

This verse in Isaiah is like God`s personal promise to each of us. When God says, “Do not fear, I will help you,” it`s a reassurance that we`re never walking through life`s challenges alone. God`s presence isn`t just something to think about on Sundays at church; it`s something real always there. Even when we forget God`s there, he never forgets us.

I know that life can be hard, and it`s normal to feel down or alone sometimes. In those moments, remember that God is with you. He`s holding your hand, guiding you and promising to help. You don`t have to go through anything by yourself because he will never let you go.

Dear God, thank you for always being there for us, even when we feel alone or forget that you`re with us. Thank you for holding our hand and helping us through hard times. Help us to trust you more and to feel your presence in every moment. Amen
