"Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong." -Zechariah 8:13b
"Strengthen your backbone. Straighten our spine. Keep your focus on the task I have called you to. Free your hands to build. For as I uproot and tear down, My people will build and plant.
My people will cry "RESTORE" to what has been broken down and lays in waste. I will supplant, and I will replace the faulty foundations built upon falsehood and upon lies. I will strip away the rottenness and mold that are making my people sick. I will drive out the infestation of rats that feed upon lingering waste hidden in darkness. I will expose every dark corner with My glorious light. I will rebuild with the foundation of truth, righteousness, and justice."
"I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to RESTORE the land and to REASSIGN its desolate inheritances, to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!'"-Isaiah 49:8b-9a NIV
