Deut. 31:6 Be Strong And Courageous. Do Not Be Afraid Or Terrified Because Of Them, For The Lord Your God Goes With You; He Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You."

We are told by God to be strong. We are told by God to be courageous. God tells us these things because He knows we can weaken. God knows we can lose strength. God knows you need Him every hour. The constant and unrelenting presence of God is required if we are to have a victorious life in our pain. We can find strength in Christ our Savior. We can find courage by surrendering our total being up to Christ. We find strength and courage when we abandon all of our heart and soul to do only God's will. We are no longer terrified of those forces seeking to destroy us when we have taken on the cloak of invincibility in Christ Jesus. When we are selfish in our pain, we make ourselves weak. When we make ourselves weak due to our selfishness, we lose courage, hope, and a vision of our time in the future when we are with Christ.
