Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." The Good News: With God's love behind you, there is no need to be frightened in the face of stress ...

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
