"So 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.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
But
now, O Israel, the LORD who created you says: "Do not be afraid, for I
have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When
you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When
you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk
through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames
will not consume you. For
I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave
. . . a ransom for your freedom."(Isaiah 43:1–3 NLT)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a
huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every
weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us
up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. (Hebrews 12:1–2 NLT)
