“Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go”
Joshua 1:9
But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name;
you are mine.
Isa.43:1
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.
Isa.41:10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not:
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:10
From He who transcends time and place
To we in need of saving grace
Since that first angel-hymn unfurled
Hope penetrates a broken world
Ah! Lift your hearts in praise and prayer
We are not destined to despair
Nor doomed to suffer Satan’s scorn
The Savior of the world is born
Be not afraid, for unto us
A Deliv’rer still comes; Jesus
Then let us too make haste to see
First Bethlehem, then Calvary
Then, let us with hearts humbly awed
Bring gifts of thankfulness to God
For hope transcending time and place
From He who saves us by His grace

Deut.11:19
Teach them (God’s Words/laws) to your children,
speaking about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down
and when you get up…
