I hereby command you be strong and courageous do not be frightened or dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go God is our refuge and strength and ever-present help in trouble therefore we will not fear though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging love must be sincere hate what is evil cling to what is good be devoted to one another in love honor one another above yourselves never be lacking in zeal but
keep your spiritual fervor serving the Lord be joyful in Hope patient in affliction faithful in prayer therefore I take pleasure in infirmities in reproaches in necessities and persecutions and de-stresses for Christ's sake for when I am weak then I am strong whatsoever thy hand findeth to do do it with thy might for there is no work nor device nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave whither thou goest do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may discern what is the will of God what is
good and acceptable and perfect be strong in bold have no fear or dread of them because it is the Lord your God who goes with you he will not fail you or forsake you the hand of the diligent will rule labas slothful will be put to forced labor therefore we do not lose heart though one Woodleigh we are wasting away yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all so we fix our eyes not on what is seen
but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he makes me lie down in green pastures he leads me beside still waters he restores my soul he leads me in right paths for his name's sake even though I walk through the darkest Valley I fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they comfort me you prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with oil my cup overflows
surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life since you cannot do this very little thing why do you worry about the rest blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him you
