Sometimes I forget that God is a Father. Fathers, when encouraging their children to be courageous, don't just tell them to "suck it up" or "stop being a scaredy-cat-sissy", they tell their children that they will HELP. And God, as the paragon of a good Father, will grab your hand and lead you step-by-step through the process of overcoming fear. OOH, and lookie lookie, God takes the initiative, He goes on and "takes" hold of your hands! He doesn't ask, according to this verse. He doesn't wait until I ask. He guides us through!
Not to say that we shouldn't ask... I mean, isn't it in John that Jesus says "You have not because you ask not"? So, maybe in some cases it's because we haven't asked that He hasn't led us by the hand and reminded us to chill, don't be afraid, because He'll help us. The point is that no matter what, we still don't need to be afraid because He's promised to help us and that, my dear readers, is awEsome.
