God says do not be afraid!

 Isaiah 41:10

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand.

There is nothing as reassuring as a Father confirming that He is with you and will uphold you! This verse, gives us comfort that God is with us and He wants us never to be afraid, but to be confident because He is with us. As we start this new year, this message is on-point as we step into the new year filled with resolutions and goals that we want to achieve. Of course the enemy knows about that, which is why he would come and try to steal those ambitious goals that you may have by instilling fear and doubt in you. But God is telling you today that do not be afraid, nor discouraged, things will work out. That thing that He placed in your heart, that seems bigger than you, press in, go forward, His hand is upon you!

When God reassures like this, you have no choice but to trust Him and His plan, and go forward. Sitting and doing nothing, is a guarantee that you won't achieve anything awesome, but attempting gives you a chance of achieving that which is in your heart. You are basically giving God something to bless. Victory is a sure thing. Even if the outcome might not be what you anticipated, with your first attempt, be sure to remember the lessons you learned by doing. Which will be an advantage when you attempt for the second time. So, standing up and giving it a try, is a win-win. Don't allow the enemy to tell you otherwise, your Father is with you and victory is secured!
