Fear has a way of whispering lies, telling us we’re forgotten, unseen, or abandoned. But the truth is, God has never left your side.
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV) says, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
When fear creeps in, shift your focus, not on what’s missing, but on the One who never leaves. His presence gives peace even in uncertain times.
Esther’s story in scripture shows us this clearly. She was an orphan, raised by her cousin Mordecai, and placed as queen in a foreign land. When she was asked to risk her life to save her people, fear could have paralyzed her. God seemed silent. But instead of believing the lie that she was abandoned, Esther chose to believe she was appointed.
She moved in faith before the miracle ever came. And because of her bold obedience, God used her to rescue an entire nation.
Like Esther, you might not know how your story ends, but you can trust the One who’s writing it. He sees the beginning, the middle, and the breakthrough.
The enemy wants you to doubt God’s presence. But fear fades when you remember this: God is with you, right now, right where you are.
Let His love outweigh every fear. Surrender the outcome, and step forward in bold faith, knowing you’re never alone.
