Isaiah 41:10-13
41:10 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; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Prophets and Kings 316.3
The heart of Infinite Love yearns after those who feel powerless to free themselves from the snares of Satan; and He graciously offers to strengthen them to live for Him…Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye man of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” {PK 316.3}
We are never alone. God has promised that He will help us. When Satan comes around, God will give us His strength to fight off the enemy and make him as nothing. Satan knows he has but a short time, so he will keep trying to tempt us. We are not to fear or be dismayed but call on God to uphold us with His right hand of power. God has provided us with His double- edged sword to fight off the enemy. With the Word of God in your mind and in your heart, you will always be prepared for battle. So, fear not, God will help thee.
Our Father,
We thank You for all of the love You continually show us. We thank You for being with us, for watching over us, for protecting us, and keeping us safe. We pray for the continued outpouring of Your Holy Spirit, that we may receive power, strength, and courage to fight off the enemy. We thank You for allowing us to abide in Your shadow and for freeing us and making our enemies as nothing. We pray that You help us continue in Your ways that we may do what is right, favorable, and well pleasing in Your sight. That You may uphold us in Your right hand of righteousness. We repent of our sins and ask for Your forgiveness. Hear our prayers, oh Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, we thank You and praise You. Amen.
