my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, and He in whom I take refuge.

You draw near this day to do battle against your enemies: Let not your heart faint: do not fear, or tremble, or be in dread of them; for the LORD your God is He that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory. Dt20:3-4

Thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1Cor15:57
"I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the Evil One."Jn17:15rsvce
