“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!
You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Deuteronomy 30:19,20
“Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you!
Isaiah 49:15
So we can say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”
Hebrews 13:6
God, our help in ages past, we praise you because you are faithful to us. We pray for help to remember that we should never be afraid, because you are always with us, until the end of the age. Amen.
