“So 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 my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10, NIV).
I used to think that feeling depressed or afraid meant I was a bad Christian. God’s Word gives us 365+ reasons to not be afraid and a hundred more to not let our faces be downcast or trodden. But as human beings, we’re not immune to suffering, pain, and mental health struggles. This includes feelings and emotions like fear, anxiety, or depression.
Isaiah 41:10 brings those of us who fear encouraging and promising words:
- Do not fear.
- I am with you.
- I am your God.
- I will strengthen you.
- I will uphold you.
This verse is a comforting balm to our souls. Why? Because it reminds us that even when we fear, worry, or are stuck in a deep fog of darkness, He is with us.
