“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.”—Ephesians 6:19-20

“And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”—Matthew 29:20b (NLT)
