Lisa, I have called you by name, and you are mine. I am always with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you.
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. Close your eyes and picture me holding your hand throughout your day. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you are never alone.
Tie something around your wrist to remind you that I am with you. We are tied together. I am leading you with cords of human kindness, with ties of love.
Stay in step with me. When you get anxious and flustered, you charge ahead of me. You are pulling on my arm and dragging me. Slow down. Walk next to me. Talk to me. Trust me.
When problems enter your day, there is no need to worry or fret. The Creator of the entire universe is holding your hand! Is there anything too difficult for me to handle?
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Nothing can separate you from my love.
–Jesus
Isaiah 43:1 Joshua 1:5 Isaiah 41:13 Hosea 11:4 Isaiah 43:2 Romans 8:35-39

“Stay in step with me.” I needed this message today.
God is good all the time.
Lisa: I just read this on Sat. a.m. and it really has touched me. Thank you for the many encouraging email and now with your Blog. As tears run down my cheeks, I know that this is so true and I have to remind myself each time I get ahead of God. Again, thank you and I praise God for your words at just the right moment.
