…listen to the Lord who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed 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,
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.”
Isaiah 43:1-3
Who has done such mighty deeds,
summoning each new generation from the beginning of time?
It is I, the Lord, the First and the Last.
I alone am he.”
Isaiah 41:4
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31
Search the book of the LORD,
and see what he will do.
Isaiah 34:16
Say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, and do not fear,
for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.
He is coming to save you.”
And when he comes,
he will open the eyes of the blind
and unplug the ears of the deaf.
Isaiah 35:4-5
Your own ears will hear him.
Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,”
whether to the right or to the left.
Isaiah 30:21
For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures,
where it says,
‘The stone that you builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.’
There is salvation in no one else!
God has given no other name under heaven
by which we must be saved.”
Act 4:11-12
So when the apostles were with Jesus,
they kept asking him,
“Lord,
has the time come for you to free Israel
and restore our kingdom?
He replied,
“The Father alone has the authority to set those dates
and times,
and they are not for you to know.
But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.
And you will be my witnesses,
telling people about me everywhere—
in Jerusalem,
throughout Judea,
in Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:7-8
“I am praying not only for these disciples
but also for all who will ever believe in me
through their message.”
John 17:20
“Why are you looking among the dead
for someone who is alive?
He isn’t here!
He is risen from the dead!”
Luke 24:5-6
