Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,Because His compassions fail not.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

“Make mention to the nations,Yes, proclaim against Jerusalem,That watchers come from a far countryAnd raise their voice against the cities of Judah.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,And lean not on your own understanding;

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Fear not, for I am with you;Be not dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you,Yes, I will help you,I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You,Because he trusts in You.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Whenever I am afraid,I will trust in You.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

A friend loves at all times,And a brother is born for adversity.

But those who wait on the LordShall renew their strength;They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary,They shall walk and not faint.

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

Behold, God is my salvation,I will trust and not be afraid;‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;He also has become my salvation.’ ”

He who follows righteousness and mercyFinds life, righteousness, and honor.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;The righteous run to it and are safe.
