How can I exercise a BOLD faith? How can I stand when others cave in to pressure?

"My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking

according to his will, sure that He’s listening. And if were

confident that He’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours." (1 John 5:13-15 The Message

"My loving-kindness and my fortress,

My stronghold and my deliverer,

My shield and He in whom I take refuge,

Who subdues my people under me."

and well. He’s the bedrock on which I stand,

the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight."

"I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,

And I am saved from my enemies."
