But I protested, “Oh no, Lord, GOD! Look, I don’t know
how to speak since I am only a youth.”
Then the LORD said to me:
Do not say, “I am only a youth,”
for you will go to everyone I send you to
and speak whatever I tell you.
Do not be afraid of anyone,
for I will be with you to deliver you.
(Jer. 1:4–8 HCSB)
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as
the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be
troubled, nor let it be fearful. (John 14:27)
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the
LORD, “plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you
a future and a hope.” (Jer. 29:11)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you
should go;
