Romans 8; Isaiah 41

Father, conform me and shape me that I can mature as your friend. Thank you for your faithfulness to seek me and to recover me from the ends of the earth. You called me and chose me to be your servant and you will never cast me off

I do not fear for you are always with me. I am not dismayed for you are my God; you strengthen me; you are my help; you uphold Me with your righteous right hand.

Many in this world are incensed against your Gospel of salvation. You confound them and put them to shame. Those who war against you are as nothing before you; they shall disappear.

You are the Lord my God and you hold my hand. You proclaim to me, “fear not, I am your God and I help you faithfully”.

I do not fear, even though I am weak, because my redeemer is the Holy one of Israel. He is almighty, sovereign god, and he helps me.
