No Fear Friday – 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.
Isaiah 41:10

It’s been a rough week – lots of ups and downs and in betweens, with kids sick and school frustrations, with financial challenges, and just… life challenges. I’ve had to capture my “anxiety” thoughts more times than I can count this last week.

So, this week’s verse is a comfort to me. God is with us. He is our God. And he will strengthen and HELP us. He will hold us in his hands. I don’t know about you, but there are times when I wish I could just crawl up into His heavenly lap and cry for awhile. The thought that he PROMISES to be there, to help me and to hold me in his hand? That’s just what I need today. Maybe you do too?

I hope you feel comfort if you need it… strength when you are weary… and a certainty of his presence in moments of fear and anxiety and dismay.

No Fear Friday – Psalm 18:2

The Lord is my ROCK, my FORTRESS and my DELIVERER; my God is my ROCK in whom I take refuge, my SHIELD and the horn of my salvation, my STRONGHOLD. Psalm 18:2

I don’t know about you, but one of my deepest needs is to to be cared for. And not just cared for…but protected, covered, not left alone to flounder. Today’s No Fear Friday scripture is exactly what I need to remember in those moments when I feel alone, feel afraid, feel anxious about what’s happening…or not happening. God is our rock, our fortress, our deliverer, our refuge, our shield, our salvation and our stronghold. Thank you God for being ALL that we need in our moments of fear and weakness.

I made another phone background to go with this scripture. I was amazed and so thankful through the week to have last week’s scripture right in front of me every time I unlocked my phone. I may be alone in this, but I unlock my phone to look at something about a hundred (or two) times a day, so that’s a LOT of quick reminders of God’s word, right there at my fingertips.

Happy New Year! And NO FEAR Fridays!

I can hardly believe that it’s already 2022, but here we are! 2021 was full of ups and downs and so many amazing new experiences for our family and for my business, and I can only imagine what the next year will bring.

And speaking of this next year, I’m excited to share something new that I’ll be posting both here on the blog and on Insta/Facebook. It’s called No Fear Friday, and will include encouraging words from Scripture. The first verse, which I actually posted on insta/Facebook yesterday, is one I’m going to hold onto and meditate on for the entirety of 2022. My personal focus, and the focus of Delight Design as well, will be sharing God’s promises, with thankfulness, and remembering we don’t need to have fear, regardless of our circumstances.

It might sound a little simplistic or trite, but after the last couple of years in our world, I don’t think focusing on “no fear” is all that easy! And covid and politics aside, life… is hard. And scary sometimes. And overwhelming and a whole host of crummy things. I find myself sometimes living moment by moment, trying not to be afraid or anxious. So, I truly hope No Fear Friday will be a blessing to you, but I’ll be doing it for me too! Because I for sure need weekly reminders!

So, here’s this week’s image! I made designs using two different versions, as one is a little easier to read.

I also made a free phone wallpaper for you, in case you’d like a daily (hourly, minute-ly) reminder of the scripture on your phone. You can click to get the full image, then right-click and download to use on your phone.

So, Happy New Year, and God’s blessings as we enter 2022!
