“Surrender to Freedom”
Fear is one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives. From economic uncertainty to personal struggles with anxiety, many of us feel gripped by the same kind of fear that past generations faced during wars and crises. Yet the message of Isaiah 43 breaks into that reality with a powerful word from God: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” This truth reminds us that God knows us personally, redeems us completely, and walks with us through every fire and flood. This message invites us to see that the antidote to fear is not denial or control, but surrender — not to our fears, but to the holy and loving God who alone keeps us safe.
