''Be strong and be brave. Don’t be afraid of those people because the Lord your God is with you. He will not fail you or leave you.”

I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future

So be humble under God’s powerful hand. Then he will lift you up when the right time comes. Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you.

Don’t worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks for what you have.

Keep your lives free from the love of money. And be satisfied with what you have.

If you lack wisdom, Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. But when you ask God, you must believe. Don’t doubt him. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is blown up and down by the wind.

Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
