(1) Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment. (2) Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. (3) He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. (4) Who hath wrought and done it , calling the generations from the beginning? I YHWH, the first, and with the last; I am he. (5) The isles saw it , and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. (6) They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. (7) So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved. (8) But thou, Yisra'El, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. (9) Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. (10) Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy Elohim: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (11) Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. (12) Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. (13) For I YHWH thy Elohim will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (14) Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Yisra'El; I will help thee, saith YHWH, and thy redeemer, the Kodesh One of Yisra'El. (15) Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff. (16) Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in YHWH, and shalt glory in the Kodesh One of Yisra'El. (17) When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I YHWH will hear them, I the Elohim of Yisra'El will not forsake them. (18) I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. (19) I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: (20) That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of YHWH hath done this, and the Kodesh One of Yisra'El hath created it.

Jos 1:5-8 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

(7) Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
1Ch 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for YHWH Elohim, even my Elohim, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of YHWH.
Psa 37:23-28 The steps of a good man are ordered by YHWH: and he delighteth in his way. (24) Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for YHWH upholdeth him with his hand. (25) I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. (28) He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. (27) Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell forevermore. (28) For YHWH loveth judgment (justice), and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Isa 41:9-17 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

He Is Always There!!!
Rom 8:28-39 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love YHWH, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (30) Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. (31) What shall we then say to these things? If YHWH be for us, who can be against us? (32) He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (33) Who shall lay any thing to the charge of YHWH's elect? It is YHWHthat justifieth. (34) Who is he that condemneth? It is Messiah that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of YHWH, who also maketh intercession for us. (35) Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. (37) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, (39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of YHWH, which is in Messiah YHWSHUA our Master.
HE is with us by HIS Spirit
Joh 14:16-18 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; (17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Joh 14:25-27 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. (26) But the Comforter, which is the Set Apart Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (27) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth...
Joh 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. (14) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
Joh 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you....
Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
I Will Be Here (Steven Curtis Chapman)
Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, you lose sight of love Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here
I will be here When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together... I will be here
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change... Lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here
I will be here And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells you you're older
I will hold you... And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made To you and to the One who gave you to me
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up And the sun does not appear
I will be here... Oh, I will be here.
