be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before
them. For The Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will
neither fail you nor abandon you.”

the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

understanding.

all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

The Lord, The Creator Of The Ends Of the Earth, fainteth not, neither
is weary? there is no searching of His understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He
increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall
utterly fall:

shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be
weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.

I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe
that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
John
14:27 KJV

I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
John
16:33 KJV
I
have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. Here on
earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because
I have overcome the world.”
Romans
5:3-5 NLT
3 We
can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know
that they help us develop endurance.
4
And endurance develops strength of character, and character
strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
5
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly
God loves us, because He has given us The Holy Spirit to fill our
hearts with His love.
Romans
8:28,31,38,39 KJV
28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be
against us?
38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans
15:13 NLT
I
pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy
and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with
confident hope through the power of The Holy Spirit.
II
Corinthians 1:3,4,10,13 NLT
3
All praise to God, The Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our
Merciful Father and the source of all comfort.
4 He
comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When
they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God
has given us.
10
And He did rescue us from mortal danger, and He will rescue us again.
We have placed our confidence in Him, and He will continue to rescue
us.
13
The temptations in your life are no different from what others
experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to
be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a
way out so that you can endure.
II
Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT
16
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our
spirits are being renewed every day.
17
For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet
they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last
forever!
18
So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our
gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will
soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
II
Corinthians 9:8 KJV
And
God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
II
Corinthians 12:9,10 KJV
9
And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather
glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for
when I am weak, then am I strong.
Ephesians
3:20,21 KJV
20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work
within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
21 Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all
generations forever and ever! Amen.
Philippians
4:6 ,7,12,13,19 KJV
6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
12 I
know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and
in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both
to abound and to suffer need.
13 I
can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
19
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs
from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ
Jesus.
II
Timothy 1:7 NLT
For
God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power,
love, and self-discipline.
Hebrews
12:1-3 KJV
1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so
easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set
before us,
2
Looking unto Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith; who for the
joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at The Right Hand Of The Throne Of God.
3
For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against
Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
James
1:2-4,12 KJV
2 My
brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and
entire, wanting nothing.
12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he
shall receive the crown of life, which The Lord hath promised to them
that love Him.
I
Peter 4:7,8,12,13 NLT
7
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and
disciplined in your prayers.
8
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for
love covers a multitude of sins.
12
Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going
through, as if something strange were happening to you.
13
Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with
Christ in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of
seeing His glory when it is revealed to all the world.
I
Peter 5:7-10 KJV
7
Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
8 Be
sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10
But The God Of All Grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory
by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you
perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
I
John 5:4 KJV
For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Prayer:
Acts 2:21,38 KJV
21 “And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.”
38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive The Gift Of The Holy
Ghost.
Acts 3:19 KJV
Repent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of
refreshing shall come from the presence of The Lord.
