26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
22 His speech was smoother than butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
23 And Jesus said to him, "If you can! All things are possible to him who believes."
3 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
5 and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
10 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 victorious right hand.
23 for those blessed by the LORD shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
24 The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;
31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
7 for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.
5 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear or be in dread of them: for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you."
31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
17 The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing
33 I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
12 But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory.

16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.
17 For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
13 I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
9 But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,"
6 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.
