“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13 (NIV)
Do you ever wonder how God hears each and every one of the billions of prayer requests that are sent to Him each and every day?
The God of the Bible is able to do this because He is our Creator. He is all-powerful. We cannot confine God to our physical realm. If we
could do that, then He wouldn’t really be God, would He?
He is supremely powerful. He created our world, along with every one of us. Yet He is so loving and truly personal that He knows each of
us by name. Isn’t it just so wonderful to have such a dearly loving God who will catch us when we fall or stumble in life’s walk? Jesus hears your cries. He will carry you through the darkness and into His light! I thank our Lord and Savior every day for carrying me through life’s valleys. There were times when I didn’t think I would make it or be able to go on.
Thankfully, we serve an all-powerful God who will never leave us nor forsake us. We can hold tight to His promises and know that the Lord will hold us up with His mighty hand. In the Bible, the “right hand” is seen as a place of honor and status. God will hold our right hand.
Dear Heavenly Father, help us to see that You are working for our good, and helping us in our daily lives, even when we can’t see it. Please hold our hand and help us to put our full trust in You. Even though we are undeserving, You shower us with Your blessings and unconditional love each and every day. Thank You Lord, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
