‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬ — 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. Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

How did transforming your perspective go? It is OK if you still have what-ifs. This is only natural for us to think about all the scenarios. Maybe your what-ifs are because you don’t feel worthy of God’s call. In today’s key verse, we read that the Lord is our Redeemer. I will be transparent in telling you that often my what-ifs stem from feeling unworthy and underqualified. Reading God’s word today brings me to tears. 

Repeat after me: You, Lord, are my Redeemer. I am worthy of the call you have for me.

We must not forget that our call is very personal. We must not allow our what-ifs lead to thinking someone else should be called. What scenarios are leaving you gripped with fear? Remember that God will help you and equip you. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, Thank You for Your redeeming love. Help me to see that I am worthy of Your call over me. Help me not to focus on what others are called to do. Help me to see that Your call is personal to me and equip me to do Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
