I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” *2* “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 righteous right hand.” *3* “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” *4* “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”
