…Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—
this is God, whose dwelling is holy.

for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
…be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Ephesians 6:10–11 (NIV)
The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
