"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
There is a most beautiful song released around 2003, entitled 'You Raise Me'. It was made famous by an American Christian named Josh Groban. Westlife also covered it but I actually preferred the Aled Jones version. The song goes like this:
'When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary, When troubles come and my heart burdened be,
Then I am still and wait here in the silence, until You come and sit awhile with me.
There is no life, no life without its hunger, each restless heart beats so imperfectly,
But when You come and I am filled with wonder, sometimes I think I glimpse eternity
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, You raise me up to walk on stormy seas,
I am strong when I am on Your shoulders , You raise me up to more than I can be"
R Lovland and B Graham
These words say it all and interlink with scripture perfectly. There is no need to be afraid or fear anything because, we can be assured of Jesus' help wherever we are. Isaiah 46:4 Amplified version compliments the words of this song very well:
'Even to your old age, I am He, and even to your advanced old age I will carry you
I have made you and I will carry you; be assured I will carry you and I will save you'
No matter what you may fear or how you may be concerned of how you will manage in old age, Jesus has got this covered. He will be there and will carry you. If you fall, He will raise you up. Today you may be weary, troubled or burdened but, wait, He is coming to help, you only have to ask Him and he will help. What a wonderful friend we have in Jesus. He never lets us down.
And whatever is on your mind today, He is there for you and will carry you if need be. Don't worry!
