Do Not Be Afraid!

I am the Lord your God. I take hold of your right hand. I say to you, "Do not be afraid. I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 NLT

Is there a difference between being scared and being afraid? They are both the same and God says that we should not be afraid because he will help you. If God is holding my right hand, then there is nothing that I should be afraid of since he is with me. No matter what the economy does, or what is happening around the world, we should not be afraid. Be encouraged that the greater one lives on the inside of us and he is here to help us when we call on him.
