Faith > Fears

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand. ... For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you." - Isaiah 41:10, 13 HCSB

Every day over the last month, God has shown me exactly what I needed in one form or another, usually through a facebook post. The past couple weeks I've been dealing with an irrational fear of the future after the future I had been planning on for over five years completely blindsided me by blowing up in my face. My sweet boyfriend has been helping me to (SLOWLY) understand that it isn't up to me to worry about the future; I don't hold it anyway. God is the only One who has my entire life story already written--any plot twists were not plot twists to Him; any fears I've had have already been taken care of, whether I know the end result or not doesn't matter because I do know the One who has it all figured out.

So will I be completely fearless? Of course not; I think that's impossible. I can, however, have confident assurance in the knowledge that I am never, ever alone...nor will I ever be. The future is far too vast a concept for my finite brain to comprehend, but that's part of the beauty of it; God knows, and all He asks is that I trust.
