Day 290 of the journey
Do Not Fear
Today's stop rests on Isaiah 41:13. It takes about a minute.
“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear.”
Isaiah 41:13
The reflection
The reason given is never that the danger is imaginary. The reason is always who is standing there.
One step forward
Say the reason, not just the command: he is with me.
A short prayer
Lord, you said it and I want to believe it. Where I can't yet, hold me anyway. Let these words go with me into the rest of today. Amen.
