Fear Not; I Will Help Thee

This year I have made a goal to read the Old Testament by following along with the Sunday School Study Guide. I have really learned a lot. The last few weeks I have been reading in Isaiah...which honestly I was dreading because it can be so hard to understand. But I have read some GREAT scriptures from Isaiah:

Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Isaiah 41:13 - "For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."

There have been many times in my life when I have felt strengthened when I was afraid, held when I needed comfort, and helped when I had no where else to turn. I know that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are there for us, waiting to reach out and strengthen, comfort, and help us...all we have to do is ask.
