Isaiah 41:10: “10Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I

will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Go out in the world and seek to be closer to God, realizing that He is not just around you, but also within you. Be comforted when you are afraid and mindful of the peace that He has given to all of us. Notice the world around you, the difficulties and pain that are created by us, not by Him, and gain strength in knowing that He has given us the path to peace. Amen.
