foreign [Music] breathe in the word of God I want us to take just a few moments and receive his promises over our life these scriptures are for anyone who is struggling with fear or anxiety or uncertainty about your future I want you to let the word of God wash over you today and I want you to receive it as his personal promise to you when I am afraid I put my trust in you in God whose word I Praise In God I trust and am not afraid what can mere mortals do to me therefore since

we have been justified through faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand and we boast in the hope of the glory of God not only so but we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance perseverance character and character hope and hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us we have this hope as an anchor for

the soul firm and secure it enters the inner Sanctuary behind the curtain where our Forerunner Jesus has entered on our behalf I pray that the eyes of your heart might be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and his incomparably great power for us who believe that power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the Heavenly Realms far above all Rule and

Authority power and dominion and every name that is invoked not only in the present age but also in the one to come the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you he will never leave you nor forsake you do not be afraid do not be discouraged the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure then peace loving considerate submissive full of mercy and good fruit impartial and sincere peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness teach me your way Lord that I may rely on your faithfulness give me an

undivided heart that I may fear your name Guide Me In Your Truth and teach me for you are God my savior and my hope is in you all day long the Lord gives strength to his people the Lord blesses his people with peace you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you 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 why my soul are you downcast why so Disturbed Within

Me put your hope in God for I will yet Praise Him My Savior and my God this I call to mind and therefore I have hope because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for his compassions never fail they are new every morning great is your faithfulness I say to myself the Lord is my portion therefore I will wait for him the Lord is good to those whose hope is in him to the one who seeks him I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation whether well-fed or hungry

whether living in plenty or in want I can do all this through him who gives me strength God will never forget the needy the hope of The Afflicted will never perish May the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit I sought the Lord and he answered me he delivered me from all my fears blessed are those who find wisdom those who gain understanding for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than

gold she is more precious than rubies nothing you desire can compare with her long life is in her right hand in her left hand are riches and honor her ways are Pleasant ways and all her paths are peace she is a tree of life to those who take hold of her those who hold her fast will be blessed though an army besiege me my heart will not fear the War break out against me even then I will be confident cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you Let the Peace of Christ rule

in your hearts since as members of one body you are called to peace and be thankful in Christ Jesus you who are once far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ for he himself is our peace no one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint in peace I will lie down in sleep for you alone Lord Make Me dwell in

safety the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control no discipline seems Pleasant at the time but painful later on however it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it may God himself the God of Peace sanctify you through and through May your whole Spirit soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus the one who calls you is faithful he will do it you are my refuge and my shield I have put my hope in your word

I saw the lord always before me because he is at my right hand I will not be shaken therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices my body also will rest in Hope because you will not abandon me to the realm of the Dead you will not let your Holy One see Decay you have made known to me the paths of life you will fill me with joy in your presence the Lord is my shepherd I lack nothing he makes me lie down in Green Pastures he leads me beside Quiet Waters he refreshes my

soul he guides me along the right path for his name's sake even though I walk through the darkest Valley I will fear no evil for you are with me you rod and your staff they comfort me now may the Lord of Peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way the Lord be with all of you do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your request to God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in

Christ Jesus he said to me my grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power May rest on me that is why for Christ's sake I Delight in weaknesses in insults hardships persecutions and difficulties for when I am weak then I am strong be strong and courageous do not be afraid do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go Advocate the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my name

will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you peace I leave with you my peace I give you I do not give to you as the world gives do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my Covenant of peace be removed says the Lord who has compassion on you nevertheless I will bring health and healing to it I will heal my people and will let

them enjoy abundant peace and security therefore I tell you do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink or about your body what you will wear is not life more than food and the body more than clothes look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in Barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not much more valuable than they can any one of you by worrying at a single hour to your life and why do you worry about clothes see how the flowers

of the field grow they do not labor or spin yet I tell you that not even Solomon and all his Splendor was dressed like one of these if that is how God closed the grass of the field which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire will he not much more clothe you you have little faith so do not worry saying what shall we eat or what shall we drink or what shall we wear for the pagans run after all these things and your heavenly father knows that you need them but seek first

his kingdom and his righteousness all these things will be given to you as well therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow we'll worry about itself I took you from the ends of the Earth from its farthest Corners I called you I said you are my servant I have chosen you and have not rejected you so do not fear for I Am With You do not be dismayed for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand I have told you these things so that

in me you may have peace in this world you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world let's take a moment and pray and seal these words in our heart holy spirit thank you for these promises we ask now that the peace of God would guard our heart and mind in Christ Jesus I ask that your word would become real in my life we thank you for protection wisdom and Faith for our future we thank you that you are in this moment and we thank you that you are all that we need
