4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Exodus 4:10-16
10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in
the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and
tongue.”
11 The Lord said to
him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who
gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?12 Now go; I will help you
speak and will teach you what to say.”
13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord.
Please send someone else.”
14 Then the Lord’s anger
burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I
know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be
glad to see you.15 You shall speak to him
and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you
what to do.16 He will speak to the people
for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spiritoffear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind.

our thinking ~
Deuteronomy 28:28-29 (NIV)
28 The
Lord will afflict you with
madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29 At midday you will
grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in
everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one
to rescue you.
Philippians 4:6-8 (NIV)
6 Do
not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such
things.
