My very dear children, grandchildren and friends, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid; for the LORD YOUR GOD, He is the One who GOES WITH YOU. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (Deut. 31:6) He not only goes with you but says, “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.” (Jer. 29:11) So, that allows us to, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, we can let our requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6-7)
Always remember what the Lord does for you, “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; They shall MOUNT UP with wings like eagles…
THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY, THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT…(Isaiah 40:29-31)
