God’s Counsel to the Fearful From Isaiah 41:10

Do you struggle with fear, anxiety, and worry? When you do struggle, where do you turn?

When God created us, He created us dependent, and dependent on counsel, and we will be molded, changed, and shaped by the counsel to which we listen.

Unfortunately, too many people turn to everyone and everything but God for counsel. In this podcast, listen to how God counsels those of us who are fearful.

Hear these precious promises from God that can support you during the most times.

Blessings.
