promises from a prophet

trust, and do not be afraid; for the Lord God is your strength and your song, and He has become your salvation
the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel, Egypt's help is worthless and empty
exalt the Lord, for He has done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure
He is a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat
He will swallow up death, FOREVER, and wipe away your tears
He will keep in perfect peace he whose mind is steadfast, because you trust in Him
you will hear a voice behind you saying, "this is the way"
waters will break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert
those who wait, will renew their strength
the darkness will be light before you, the rough places smooth
the waters will not overwhelm you, the flames will not burn you
you will not be forgotten, you are engraved on His hand
you will not be put to shame
He will go before and behind

Isaiah
