Fearful?
`Whatever
your anxieties and trials, spread out your case before the Lord.
Your spirit will be braced for endurance. The way will be open for
you to disentangle yourself from embarrassment and difficulty. The
weaker and more helpless you know yourself to be, the stronger will
you become in His strength. The heavier your burdens, the more
blessed the rest in casting them upon your Burden Bearer.

`Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.' (Isaiah 41:10) |
`Circumstances
may separate friends; the restless waters of the wide sea may roll
between us and them. But no
circumstances, no distance, can separate
us from the Saviour. Wherever we may be, He is at our right hand, to
support, maintain, uphold, and cheer. Greater than the love of a
mother for her child is Jesus' love for His redeemed. It is our
privilege to rest in His love, to say, "I will trust Him; for
He gave His life for me." (MH72)
`Human
love may change, but Jesus's love knows no change. When we cry to
Him for help, His hand is stretched out to save.’ (MH72)
`Doubts
and fears grow by indulgence, and the more they are indulged, the
harder are they to overcome. It is safe to let go every earthly
support and take the hand of Him who lifted up and saved the sinking
disciple on the stormy sea.’ (4T558)
`Whether
on the land or on the sea, if we have the Saviour in our hearts,
there is no need to fear. Living faith in the Redeemer will smooth
the sea of life, and will deliver us from danger in the way that He
knows to be best.' (DA336)

`Do
not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with the right
hand of My righteousness.' (Isaiah 41:10)
`Fear
not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are
mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when
you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you
walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not
set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel,
your Saviour. Do not be afraid, for I am with you.' (Isaiah 43:1-5)
"The
mountains may depart,
And the hills be removed;
But My loving-kindness shall not depart from thee,
Neither shall My covenant of peace be removed,
Saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee." (Isaiah 54:10)
