We face fear every day of our lives. We fear the unknown. We fear tragedies and health issues happening to us and to the people we love. We fear making mistakes and regretting them. So we wonder, is it possible to live a fearless life? Here is what the Lord your God wants you to know: (1) I am the Lord your God, (2) I will hold you with my righteous right hand and guide you through life, (3) do not fear for I am with you and (4) I will help you. 
The hand of God isn't just there to guide us; it's also there to lift us up. Have you ever fallen down, and someone reaches out a hand, you grab it, and they lift you back up on your feet? This is what a relationship with God can look like sometimes. We fall down; we reach out, and He takes our hand and helps us up. The promise of God to be there personally to pick us up is comforting, reassuring, and powerful. 
Let us meditate on this verse today. Imagine that God, our loving and all-powerful father, holds your hand and says, "Don't be afraid; I am here to help you." No matter what challenges you face today, remember God is with you, and He will help you. You are never alone.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for providing me with comfort and assurance. I am at peace knowing that You are always with me and that You will help me through every challenge in my life. During this time of chaos and uncertainty, I need You more than ever. Empower me with Your Spirit so that nothing can hold me back from doing what You've called me to do. Fill me with peace and strength, Lord. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
