maintain this confidence. All these received the testimony that they were not
pleasing to God. Yet Yahweh has a remnant that will not waver in faith. These will
look to God with confidence when the storms of life are raging and they are faced
with great peril. Their testimony will be:

II Timothy 1:12
For I know Him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard
that which I have committed unto Him against that day.

Prayer:

Father, we confess that Your holy character is such that all men should rest easy as
they entrust themselves to You. You are a just God, and those who place their lives
in Your hands need never fear. You are a loving God, and those who place their lives
in Your hands need never fear. You are a merciful God, and those who place their
lives in Your hands need never fear.

Forgive us Father for allowing fear to have a place in our lives. We know from Your
word that perfect love casts out all fear, so we ask You to perfect us in the confidence
of Your love. May our lives be examples of the peace that surpasses all understanding
as our hearts and minds are focused and set upon You. As we survey Your awesome
faithfulness, Your immeasurable love, and Your certain justice, may we be brought
to peace, and may anxiety, unbelief and fear find no resting place within us.
