When you can hear God speaking specifically to YOU in this passage, you can replace your fear and anxiety with God’s presence and love. Praying through God’s words in this passage is very powerful. Isaiah 42:5–7 NIV 5 This is what God the LORD says— the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: 6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 43:1 NIV But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 43:3 NIV “For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;” Isaiah 43:4 NIV “Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you,” Isaiah 43:5 NIV “Do not be afraid, for I am with you;” Isaiah 43:7 NIV …“Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” Isaiah 43:10–13 NIV 10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. 12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. 13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?” Follow Dave Cover on Twitter @davecover. Like this content? Make sure to share it with others and leave us a rating, so others can find it too.
