God sustains you in your fear

Through the prophet Isaiah, God speaks to the people of Israel and reminds them that He is with them. His promise to strengthen, help, and sustain them gives them reason to trust amid uncertainty.

We too can bring our fears before God. Through Jesus Christ, we can approach our Father with confidence, ask for His help, and take the next faithful step. His presence gives us strength to face today.

Pause and reflect

Bring your greatest concern before God and ask Him for wisdom to act responsibly. In the name of His Son Jesus, ask Him to remove from your heart everything that does not come from the fruit of the Holy Spirit, renew your strength, and fill you with His Holy Spirit.

Today’s prayer

Abba Father, I bring You my fears and everything I cannot control. You are God. Thank You for choosing me and rescuing me through Your Son Jesus. Help me trust Your presence and walk in Your faithfulness. Remove from my heart everything that does not come from the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. Renew my strength and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Give me peace, guide my decisions, and sustain me today. I ask this in the name of Your beloved Son Jesus. Amen.

A life transformed by His presence

The fruit of the Spirit, made visible.

Walking with Jesus changes the way we love, respond, wait and serve. These are not nine disconnected virtues, but one fruit produced in us by the Holy Spirit.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”
Galatians 5:22–23 · WEB
