My Journey With God, No. 90

The message: Do Not Be Afraid

Do not be afraid, for I am with you…” Isaiah 43:5

Several posts ago, I wrote that I was singing— “Lord, whatever You’re doing in this season, don’t do it without me.” Ha! You know, when you say things like that, you open doors for God to do more in your life. And the word “more” also means “the unknown.” Scary, huh?

The scripture above is from this morning’s readings. It’s the assurance I needed to keep trucking along on this journey. I know God is with me. I have never doubted that He was. However, sometimes I need to hear from HIM (not from someone online or a sermon, but from God himself) that He is and always will be with me through this journey. I am not sure where God is leading me. Honestly, at times, I feel completely lost because nothing is going as I planned—things are just happening. But I guess when you say things like, “Have Your way, Lord,” “Your will be done,” “I’m Your vessel, do what You want to do,” and “I’m open to whatever You want to do in my life,” and the list goes on—you open yourself up to whatever God wants to do. Whew, the things I say and agree to in my conversations with God!🥴

As I smile through tears—happy and nervous tears—one thing I am certain of, and can always be sure of, is that I don’t have to fear anything because God is with me. I’m covered.♥️
