Jesus overheard them and said…
“Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”
…This is what the LORD says:
Do not be afraid!
Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army,
for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth
in order to strengthen those
whose hearts are fully committed to him…
…obey all the commands I have given you.
And be sure of this:
I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.”
Jesus came and told his disciples,
“I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
…And be sure of this:
I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.”
…after I have been raised from the dead,
I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.”
Blessings of the God who goes before us
…“O LORD, no one but you can help
the powerless against the mighty!
Help us, O LORD our God,
for we trust in you alone.
It is in your name that we have come against this vast horde.
O LORD, you are our God;
do not let mere men prevail against you!”
