I shall not fear

Today, I met my supervisors for the second time, and we discussed several things! Oh no! I find out that I have to read so many types of thesis and papers and journals! oh oh oh oh oh! Will I be able to finish it? I wonder and wonder...

As these doubts creep into my mind, my friend motivates me, "Jean! Of course you can! Don't even think for a moment that you can't. With your will, determination and perseverance, you will be able to conquer it!"

A hah! I definitely hope so.

As if reading my mind, during Bible Study, we came across the following verses:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fear not, for I am with you.

"Fear not, for I am with you.

   Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

 I will strengthen you, I will help you.

   I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

~ Isaiah 41:10 ~

Joshua to Succeed Moses

"It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

~ Deuteronomy 31:8 ~

Exhortation, Encouragement & Prayer

Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand: do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

~ Philippians 4:6-7 ~

I Have Overcome the World

"I (Jesus) have said these things to you, that in me, you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world."

~ John 16:33 ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh! Oh! I must remember the above! I will not be afraid! I will not fear. For Jesus has overcome all things, and if he can overcome, I can too!

No matter what kind of tribulations we face, God remains the same. This is His characteristic. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Therefore He is our Lord. He is faithful. He never lets us go, even if we have strayed away. This is my God. He is good. All the time. He loves me, and I love Him. I will not let Him down.

Oh God! As you listen to this plea from my heart, I pray that you help me to answer my prayer ... to write a poem to my fiancé, and understand the thesis and papers that I am supposed to read, and prepare a very interesting and impressive piece of presentation pack.

Oh God, I pray that you'll bless my life here, and my (our) marriage too.

I pray, I pray, I pray.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.
