Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.—Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)
Where does courage spring from? For many, it comes from an abiding and deep trust that God is sufficient to see them through all of life’s trials. Know that with His help you can overcome any personal defeat. When the tide seems to be running against you and everything seems to be going wrong, take heart. God has not forsaken you. He never will.
Thank You, Father, for Your unconditional promise of love.
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.—Genesis 1:21 (NIV)
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.—Colossians 3:23 (ESV)
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.—Romans 12:2 (ESV)
