self confidence

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

⁷For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.

³⁵And so, do not lose your confidence, which has a great reward. ³⁶For it is necessary for you to be patient, so that, by doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.

⁶So then, we may confidently say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.”

⁹Behold, I am instructing you. Be strengthened, and be steadfast. Do not dread, and do not fear. For the Lord your God is with you in all things, wherever you may go.”

¹³For you have possessed my temperament. You have supported me from the womb of my mother. ¹⁴I will confess to you, for you have been magnified terribly. Your works are miraculous, as my soul knows exceedingly well.

³If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.

⁶In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

¹⁸Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.

²⁹Let no evil words proceed from your mouth, but only what is good, toward the edification of faith, so as to bestow grace upon those who listen.

⁸The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.

⁶I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice. ⁵Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is near. ⁶Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. ⁷And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

²⁰I live; yet now, it is not I, but truly Christ, who lives in me. And though I live now in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and who delivered himself for me.

¹⁶Therefore, let us go forth with confidence toward the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy, and find grace, in a helpful time.

²⁶For the Lord will be at your side, and he will guard your feet, so that you may not be seized.

¹⁰Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not turn away, for I am your God. I have strengthened you, and I have assisted you, and the right hand of my just one has upheld you.

³⁴Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for the future day will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.”
