I will trust and not be afraid. God is my strength and my song.

A Bible affirmation for anxiety, rooted in Isaiah 12:2.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.

Isaiah 12:2 · BSB

Reflection

This is a song of thanks from people who have seen God rescue them. Trust and fear sit on opposite sides of the sentence. God doesn't only give strength. He becomes your strength, and your song.

A prayer

God, be my strength and my song. I choose to trust and not be afraid.
