Do you feel unwanted? You’re not.
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family
by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.
This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
Ephesians 1:5 NLT
Do you feel useless? You’re not.
For we are God’s masterpiece.
He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 NLT
Do you think you can’t “stand in the gap?” Do you think you are too old, too weak, too overwhelmed? Well, what if your circumstances are “the gap?”
Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.
He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.
Remember that your family of believers all over the world
is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
1 Peter 5:8-10 NLT
Are you afraid you will fail? You won’t.
For God is working in you,
giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Philippians 2:13 NLT
You already know what to do.
Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith.
Be courageous. Be strong.
And do everything with love.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NLT
And remember: God has got this! God has got you!
Now all glory to God, who is able,
through his mighty power at work within us,
to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus
through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT
