Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Hayley says:
When I was 4, my father starting to physically and emotionally abuse me. He would beat me, yell at me, shut me in rooms without food, and a whole plethora of other things. At times, I would feel alone and scared. But, tonight at church I heard this verse, and I’ve decided to make this my life verse.
“Do not be worried and upset,” Jesus told them. Believe in God and believe also in me.
Evelyne says:
I never knew that one day God could ever open a way for me but I one day opened the Bible and found myself reading this verse. It says, “worry not for I the Lord your God will always be with you.” I have stopped worrying since that day, and any time I feel like the world has turned upside down, I read that verse and feel blessed.

Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That’s the most sensible way to serve God.

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his[a]faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
