So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I read this everyday and it gets me through it all. God bless us. Edie

This is very encouraging. I also love Isaiah 43:1-4 - in the same vein:
"...Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord, your God."

Isn't it wonderful to know that through it all, He is with us!?

I'm telling you, my faith got me thru the last 3 years while my Mary was ill. It's hard enough with heavenly help, I always wonder what carries others...Darn, I just couldn't do it alone! Great verses.

My favorite scripture. In fact, before I get out of bed every morning I recite this one and surrender the day to the Lord. I have to say that I say it many times each day. This is a promise and God always keeps his word. Have a good day

Edie, this is part of the passage that was read at my husband's funeral. Means so much.
