those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I look but there is no one— no one among the gods to give counsel, no one to give answer when I ask them.

29See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.

I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

Lord God my Father,

You are my hope and strength, help me to keep my focus on this truth. Keep me from being distracted by fear or confusion, allow only your Peace to be in my thoughts. Give my thoughts good counsel and keep me in your Truth.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
