Encouragement in Scripture is never a pep talk. It is a reminder of who God is and where He stands, spoken to people who were tired. These Words were first given to exiles, prisoners, and a man who was afraid to lead.
This Path is a gift. It is open to everyone, without an account.
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
