He takes hold of my hand

There is nothing in my life more reassuring!!!

Knowing that in all I do, God has my hand in his. I remember this being a vital prayer when I had my 1st weekend of "call" in my new job, and the many days right after I got off orientation. My preceptor was not with my anymore but I knew God was. Man...that's what sustains me, ESPECIALLY when I'm afraid and feel alone.

An except from my Journal May 2, 2008 (new job,orientation)

So hear I sit on my lunch break, sort of sad, wishing I wasn't here everyday, wishing away my days....again. So I turn to my bible( in my backpack) and just start reading. I feel and overwhelming peace and reassurance as I read This verse.

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" Isaiah 41:13

I went on to write...

So, I will feel my hand in His as I get through these next 6 weeks. Thank you Jesus for your comforting promises.

I did make it through orientation and the year to follow. I'm not reaching for His hand quite as much these days(atleast while at work) but I know that all I gotta do is close my eyes and

reach out and there it will be
