- This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
- Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth. - The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.

He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.
