BE STRONG AND TAKE COURAGE - Don Moen - Be strong and take courage, Do not fear or be dismayed, For the Lord will go before you, And His light will show the way. Be strong and take courage, Do not fear or be dismayed, For the One who lives within you Will be strong in you today. Why don't you give Him all of your fears, Why don't you let Him wipe all of your tears; He knows, He's been through pain before, And He knows all that you've been looking for. So, be strong and take courage, Do not fear or be dismayed, For the One who lives within you Will be strong in you today. Be strong and take courage, Do not fear or be dismayed, For the One who lives within you Will be strong in you today. Nothing can take you out of His hand, Nothing can face you that you can't command, I know that you will always be In His love, In His power you will be free. So, be strong and take courage, Do not fear or be dismayed, For the Lord will go before you, And His light will show the way.

lyrics

Be strong and take courage, 
Do not fear or be dismayed,

For the Lord will go before you, 
And His light will show the way.
Be strong and take courage, 

Do not fear or be dismayed,
For the One who lives within you 

Will be strong in you today.
.
Why don't you give Him all of your fears, 
Why don't you let Him wipe all of your tears;
He knows, He's been through pain before, 
And He knows all that you've been looking for.
So, be strong and take courage, 
Do not fear or be dismayed,
For the One who lives within you 
Will be strong in you today.
.
Be strong and take courage, 

Do not fear or be dismayed,
For the One who lives within you
 

Will be strong in you today.
.
Nothing can take you out of His hand, 
Nothing can face you that you can't command,
I know that you will always be 

In His love, 
In His power you will be free.
.
So, be strong and take courage, 
Do not fear or be dismayed,
For the Lord will go before you, 
And His light will show the way.
Be strong and take courage, 

Do not fear or be dismayed,
For the One who lives within you 

Will be strong in you today.
Be strong, 
Be strong, 
Be strong, 
Be strong, 
God with us!

The Bible, the Word of God, has a lot to say about overcoming fear, specifically why we should not fear. Our chief source of strength that enables us to withstand fear will always be the knowledge that God is with us. Throughout the Bible, God commanded individuals to "fear not, or, do not be afraid" by assuring them of His presence and help on their behalf.
.
God wants us to know and be assured that if, and as long as He is with us, we need not be afraid. The knowledge of His presence is the certainty that He will help us. 
.
One of the main causes of fear is our lack of control over events in our life and guilt over things in the past. When God tells us to "not be afraid" it is a command from Him. He is God and His love for us is very great. He wants us to understand all that He offers to us.
.
Isaiah 54:4-5 says, "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood. For your Maker is your husband - the LORD Almighty is his name - the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth." 
.
Another weapon against fear is realizing the value that God places upon each one of us. If God loved us so much to redeem us back to Himself with precious blood, the blood of His only Son, Jesus, how great must be the worth that He has ascribed to man.
.
Romans 8:35-39 says, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Jo Chen
