For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

…in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,

…rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”

…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved.
