Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don’t be afraid! Don’t be discouraged!’

“But I said to you, ‘Don’t be shocked or afraid of them! 30The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt.

He will see this land because he has followed the Lord completely. 

“But King Sihon of Heshbon refused to allow us to pass through, because the Lord your God made Sihon stubborn and defiant so he could help you defeat him, as he has now done.

Lord God my Father,

May I completely trust in your power in my life. Give me courage to defeat my past, cleanse me of any wrong I lived and deliver me to today to do your work.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
