This guided Christian meditation in Isaiah 41 reminds us that we are called, chosen, and upheld by God. He is with us, and therefore we have nothing to fear.

They were his called, chosen, and upheld people.   Isaiah’s words were a balm to their wayward souls. And they are strong words to comfort and encourage us today.   God is with you. You are his called and chosen son or daughter.   And because of this: God longs to help you. God longs to strengthen you. He is holding you up with his righteous right hand.   And his righteous right hand is stronger than anyone or anything else.   No matter where you find yourself today, let these truths guide you. You do not need to be afraid because God is on your side.   You can follow along with a FREE printed guide for this meditation, and the entire Do Not Be Afraid series here.   Here are some additional helpful links: You can find out more about me, Jodie, at http://www.jodieniznik.com/ Follow me on Instagram @creatingspaceforgod Follow me on Facebook @JodieGNiznik Learn more about Scripture meditation and download a FREE Lectio Divina Scripture Meditation Journal here.

I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
