Scriptures:

Isaiah 41:10; Jeremiah 17:7; Psalm 55:22

Devotional

Fear is loud, but it’s not lord. Scripture reminds us that even when fear rises, God’s steady hand rises higher. Isaiah writes, “Do not fear, for I am with you.” Not because you’re strong enough — but because He is.

Jeremiah says that those who put their hope in

the Lord are blessed — not because life becomes easy, but because their confidence is rooted in Someone unmovable. Hope is a decision as much as it is a feeling. It’s choosing where to place the weight of your trust. And when you place it in God, He carries what you can’t.

Psalm 55 tells us God actually wants our burdens. He invites us to unload, not push through. When fear tries to rule your day, that’s your cue: hope is calling you back to God’s hands.

Reflect

1. What fear has been taking too much space in my mind lately?

2. What burden do I need to give back to God instead of carrying myself?

3. How can I practice trusting God more intentionally this week?

Prayer

God, You are my strength when I feel shaky. Remind me that fear doesn’t define my future — You do. Help me release every burden I wasn’t meant to carry. Teach me to trust Your hands more than my own understanding. Hold me steady today. Amen.

Action Step

Write down one burden you’re carrying and physically place the paper somewhere symbolic (Bible, altar, prayer jar). Let it be a reminder: God has it.
