Known by Name, Held in Love | Meditation on Isaiah 43:1–3, 5

In this Scripture meditation on Isaiah 43:1–3, 5, we reflect on God’s personal care, protection, and presence in our lives. Through the practice of Lectio Divina, we slow down to hear God speak the comforting truth that He knows us by name and walks with us through every fire, every storm, and every fear.

If you've ever faced uncertainty, fear, or hardship, this meditation is a gentle reminder that God is with you. You are fully known, and still fully loved.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:

• Reflect on what it means to be known by name and held in love
• Name a fear you're carrying and invite God into that place
• Rest in God’s promise of presence and protection

Meditation Passage

Isaiah 43:1–3 & 5, NET

1 Now, this is what the LORD says,
the one who created you, O Jacob,
and formed you, O Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, for I will protect you.
I call you by name, you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;
when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm you.

3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your deliverer.

5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
From the east I will bring your descendants;
from the west I will gather you.
