Fear Not, for I am with you.

What do I fear? Losing my family, someone hurting my kids, financial strife...and a multitude of smaller worries. Anxiety WAS a way of life for me, I was named class "worry wart" in the fourth grade and lived up to that nickname for most of my life. I lived in a constant state of stress to achieve, succeed, be perfect, be on time, be beautiful, be smart, etc etc etc. I was always one corner away from total failure as a person, until I totally surrendered to God's way. After that I was able to relax, and know that it really didn't matter if I didn't: get the part, find the guy, have a perfect smile, be a huge success, my list was endless! The wonderful thing I found was that Christ's love never fails no matter how imperfect I am. So randomly over the past couple of weeks Isaiah 41:10, "10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.", has been popping up. I look at these words and am even more comforted, by my God. No matter what tomorrow brings, He will strengthen me, help me, and uphold me. How awesome is that? This life is full of worry producing thoughts, but put those aside because..."I am your God" It's that simple.
