“Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:1,2).

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44).

“Behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he might sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not” (Luke 22:31,32).

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear” (Psalm 46:1,2).
