not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not
forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed."
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
"Therefore we do not lose heart, but
though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day
by
day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal
weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the
things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the
things which are
seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

What will man do to me.'"

O LORD, be my helper.

removed our transgressions from us."

they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become
weary."
