From Jesus Today by Sarah Young
Be strong and courageous. Do not be discouraged, for I will be with you wherever you go. You can choose to be strong and courageouseven when you are feeling very weak. However,the weaker you feel, the more effort it takes tochoose to be strong. It all depends on where youlook. If you gaze at yourself and your problems,your courage will melt away. The choice to bebold rests on your confidence that I am with you and for you. Through eyes of faith, see Meon the path before you, beckoning you on, onestep at a time. Looking to Me consistently willincrease your strength and valor.
When everything seems to be going wrong, refuse to get discouraged. Remember that I am a God of surprises: I am not limited by the way things are or by the paltry possibilities you can see. I am infinitely creative and powerful. With Me all things are possible! The longer you wait for your prayers to be answered, the closer you are to a breakthrough. Meanwhile, waiting for Me—aware of My loving Presence—is a blessed way to live. I am good to those who wait for Me.
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. —Joshua 1:9
Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” —Matthew 19:26 NKJV
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. —Lamentations 3:25–26 NKJV
