Strength study -- thoughts

Isaiah 41:1-13
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  (Isaiah 41:10 NASB emphasis mine)
This verse, and verse 13, were first given to me when my mother died very unexpectedly. k The "do not fear" and God "holding me by the hand" (vs. 13) and in God's righteous right hand" helped hold me together during a stressful time.  These verses became my "go to" verses when ever things started to overwhelm.

Then a word search of strength brought these verses up.  Yes, God is holding me "by the hand" and in "God's hand."  God's strength is also holding and helping.  God's strength - holding, helping and flowing through me - for which I am very thankful.  I can praise God - even in stressful times.

Something to think about: God holding us by the, and in, God's hand so God's strength CAN flow through us.

​What verse is your "go to" verse?  How does it hold you and help you? Do you feel God's strength?
