September 23 devotional

Scripture
Isaiah 43:1
“But now, O Israel, the Lord who created you says, Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.”
Observation
I do not have to be afraid.
I belong to God.
He knows my name, my fears, my insecurities, my anger.
My safety is in him,
Application
God is trustworthy. He paid a great price to bring me into his family. He has already demonstrated his love and loyalty to me. I don't have to be afraid. I can trust him.
Prayer
Forgive me for worry and doubt. The root is unbelief. You demonstrated your love for me when Jesus died on the cross. I should never question your love for me again. I am sorry. I trust you with my present and with my future. Thank you for ransoming me from sin and death.
