“This verse breaks fear — not by denying it, but by naming the One who holds you through it.”
B. SCRIPTURE BLOCK (NIV)
Isaiah 41:10
“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.”
Psalm 56:3
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid… for the Lord your God goes with you.”
John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
C. DEVOTIONAL
We treat fear like a flaw — something to hide or fix.
But Scripture doesn’t shame us for trembling.
It points us to the One who walks with us in the shaking.
God doesn’t say, “Stop being afraid.”
He says, “I am with you.”
That changes everything.
Because when you know you’re held,
fear loses its power to paralyze.
You don’t need to be brave.
You just need to be near Him.
lyrics by Zeb of Virginia Beach Church
full lyrics to “All In For Jesus”
I am standing on the bright side of the river
over that black river I have crossed
I am basking in the light of Jesus here
on the other side of the river I was lost
I can feel his power I can feel his love
I can feel the might of the Lord above
I am standing on the Holy side of the river
basking in the light of the lord
I am
All In For Jesus X 3 now
no more doubt, no more fake pride
no more struggles deep inside
I am All In For Jesus now
Are you all in for Jesus now?
what side of the river are you standing?
if you haven’t yet crossed let me tell ya friend
this side of the river is so less demanding
ain’t gotta go it alone here
ain’t gotta figure it out
ain’t gotta fight your battles
against the darkness filled with doubt
ain’t gotta drown in your sin
ain’t gotta swim in your fear
if you want a life in joy forever
then just come on over here and be
All In For Jesus X3 now
no more doubt no more fake pride
no more struggles deep inside
just be All In For Jesus Now
** D. PRAYER**
Lord, I’m afraid right now.
Not of monsters — but of silence, of waiting, of what’s next.
But Your Word says You’re with me.
So I choose to trust You — not my feelings.
Strengthen me. Uphold me.
And let Your peace guard my heart today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
