you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you.”

against the devil’s schemes. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled
around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with
your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In
addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit….”

The devil trys so hard to deceive us but God's word holds the Truth and we know God never changes! Thanks for this wonderful post to remind us of God's promises!
I am amazed at God's word continually and its power. I have been feeling very much like the first statement in this post, alone and without help. Here are the verses I used to meet those feelings: like you, I chose Josh 1:5 & Isa 49:15-16. Additionally, I jotted down the following:
Ps 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, the LORD will take care of me.
Isa 46:3-4 Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by Me from before your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
Ps 71:6 Upon You I have leaned from before my birth; you are He who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of You.
Dt 33:27 The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Isa 41:13 For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you."
I also included Ps 139:1-13, Ps 40:12-13, 17, and Ps 127:2-7 on my list. Thank you very much for posting all this. My therapist keeps emphasizing the importance of combatting lies with God's truth. It is a blessing to see this in practice. :)
Just found your website and am very blessed by this post because you have voiced some of the same lies I've believed. Will meditate on these verses.
