Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
(Isaiah 41:10)
When does this Scripture mean when it says, "I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties"? It means God makes you stronger and stronger as you go through things. It also means you become less affected by the difficulties and challenges you face as time goes on. It is like exercise; when you first do it, you get sore, but as you press through the soreness, you build muscle and gain strength and soon find ease in doing what was once very difficult.
As you have been walking with God, He has been strengthening you. You can face each new challenge, overcoming any fears, God will continually give you the strength you need to overcome and you will grow in maturity.

Minister to Yourself
Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit-you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 THE MESSAGE
Our thoughts affect our words, and our words affect our lives-words have power, and they directly affect our emotions. Words fuel good moods or bad moods, in fact, they fuel our attitudes and have a huge impact on our lives and our relationships.
In Proverbs 21:23 we are told to guard our mouths and tongues to keep ourselves from trouble. Proverbs also tells us, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (18:21). The message cannot be any clearer: If you speak positive and good things, you minister life to yourself. You increase your joy. However, if you speak negative words, you minister death and misery to yourself-you increase your sadness and your mood plummets. You have the choice between life and death, being positive or negative-so choose wisely!
POWER THOUGHT: I choose to speak life-giving words.
