Encouragement

"When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You." -Psalm 56:3

God is all powerful. Whatever struggle you go through, decision you have to make, mission trip you are called to go on, person you have to forgive, broken heart you have to tend to, joyful moment you get to be a part of, unplanned circumstance you have to walk through, whatever situation you are in, He will always be there. He has always been. He's everlasting and so incredibly powerful that we cannot fully comprehend it. He has a plan for us. We should not fear.

"'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'" -Jeremiah 29:11

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." -Joshua 1:9

"The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." -Deuteronomy 31:8

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out.

Even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life,
I won't turn back. I know You are near.

And I will fear no evil, for my God is with me,
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear? Whom then shall I fear?

Oh! No, You never let go! Through the calm and through the storm,
Oh! No, You never let go! Through every high and and every low,
Oh! No, You never let go! Lord, You never let go of me."
-Matt Redman
