1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 9-10

You are not alone-
For God is with you.
You are not defenseless-
For God is your protector.
You are not inadequate-
For God is your sufficiency.
You are not useless-
For God has a purpose for your life.
You are not worthless-
For God sent His Son to die for you.
You are not without hope-
For God has a place prepared for you.
You are not unloved-
For God loves you with an everlasting love.
You are not rejected, or abandoned-
For God calls you His own.
"I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." So we can say with confidence,
"The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?"
