This is a promise from God. He knows we live in a heart breaking world. We have to go through hard times here for a short while, but we do not have to go through them alone. if we trust in the Lord, he will see us through. He will make it right. No matter what our hard times are. Thank you Jesus for Devin, he has glorified your name during his time with us. Love you Devin. Can’t wait to see you again! Baby Boy!

VERSE 10 THRU 13.
10:Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee: yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11: Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
12: Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13: For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand,saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
