Acts 27:22-25<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/sup><\/i><\/b>Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandme<\/i>nts. 7<\/sup><\/b>He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.  8<\/sup><\/b>His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 112:1, 7-8<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 <\/sup>Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 <\/sup>In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one![a<\/a>]<\/sup> <\/span>17\u201318 <\/sup>Embrace the power of salvation\u2019s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies.

Ephesians 6:16-18 (Passion Translation)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s Word is a sure foundation for your life. As you build on it, you grow stronger and steadier, even when life feels overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re under pressure, fear can fill your thoughts and shake your confidence. In those moments, resist the devil by turning to God\u2019s Word. Speak His promises aloud and choose to trust them over what fear is telling you. Scripture says that when you resist the devil, he will flee. Stand firm on the Word, and let it steady your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
