Psalm 54:4 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, God is mine helper: The LORD is with them that uphold my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 20:11 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the LORD is with me as a might terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamentations 3:24-25 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LoRD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the LORD thy God He it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuteronomy 31:8 (ESV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua 1:9 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LorD thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuteronomy 20:4 (KeV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies to save you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrews 13:6 (ESV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deuteronomy 20:1 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses; and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 41:10-13 (KJV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For I, the LORD, thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace & Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
