“When you go out to fight your enemies and you face horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid.
The Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you!”

Do not be afraid or discouraged.

I had back surgery on the 23rd of December and the pain is so bad I keep worrying that something is wrong. This is not my 1st go around but my 4th. It was to remove some screws that were out of place. I just need the strength to keep going. The verses you gave really helped a lot. If you have other studies you think might help that would be so great.
