In moments like these, fear can take over quickly. Questions swirl, worst-case scenarios creep in, and daily life becomes hard to focus on. Yet the devotional reminds us that God meets us right in that fear. Isaiah 41:10 is offered as an anchor—God does not leave His people to face hard things alone. He strengthens, helps, and upholds. And while the original words were spoken in a specific context, the heart of the promise reflects God’s unchanging character: He is present with His children in suffering.
