Fear
not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My
righteous right hand.’
I have told you these things, so that in Me
you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and
distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory
abiding.]
لاَ
تَخَفْ لأَنِّي مَعَكَ. لاَ تَتَلَفَّتْ لأَنِّي إِلهُكَ. قَدْ أَيَّدْتُكَ
وَأَعَنْتُكَ وَعَضَدْتُكَ بِيَمِينِ بِرِّي
قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهذَا لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ فِيَّ سَلاَمٌ. فِي
الْعَالَمِ سَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ ضِيقٌ، وَلكِنْ ثِقُوا: أَنَا قَدْ غَلَبْتُ
الْعَالَمَ
Isaiah 41:10, John
16:33
God speaks with tenderness; Fear not, for I am
present with you. When we are weak, He will strengthen us. When we are in need
He will help us. When we fall, He will uphold us with His right hand which is
full of righteousness. In His hand, there is victory, strength, and provision.
In His hand there is everything we need.
In contrast to our assumption that peace means
the absence of conflict, Jesus promises that his peace becomes apparent in the
very middle of trouble and conflict. Troubles remind us to ask for Jesus'
peace. God's answer will not usually mean that the problem will be over, but
that Christ's peace will see us through it.
I invite you to repeat the following
prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, please remind me in times of trouble to ask in prayer for Jesus’ peace and give me the
faith that His peace will see me through it. God, help me to keep my heart and
mind focused on You and obeying Your word. Lord, even when things do not make
sense and are beyond my control, nothing is beyond Your ability. Lord, I know
that You are upholding me with Your righteous right hand to make everything
work together for my good. Thank You Lord for Your deep and everlasting
love of me, Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your
grace upon my life. God, I pray to You in the name of Your precious Son; my
Redeemer and Saviour; the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ. To Jesus be the
power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time
and now and forevermore. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
