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. From eternity to
eternity I am God. No one
can snatch anyone out of
my hand. No one can undo
what I have done. (Isaiah

shame. (1 Chronicles

up your hands to him in
prayer! Get rid of your
sins, and leave all iniquity
behind you. Then you will
lift up your face. You will
be strong and free of fear.
You will forget your
trouble; it will be like
water flowing away.
Your life will be brighter
than the noonday. Even
darkness will be as bright
as morning. Having hope
will give you courage.
You will be protected and
will rest in safety. (Job
