“The antidote for fear is the promise of God’s presence. God is with you. “For He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”

“It’s not unlikely that God would lie—that would be a matter of probability. It is impossible for God to lie.”

“We all know the disappointments that come when we base anticipation on what we and other humans can deliver. God will never have a problem delivering!”

“At this moment, God is watching your life and at some point in this trial, He will say enough. You don’t need to falter.”

“Even if God could lie, He would have no motivation. He can gain nothing by lying. Everything He wants to have happen happens.”

“purposes are always accomplished. His enemies are always defeated. His faithful followers are always rewarded. His Son’s throne will be established forever.”
