Psalms 31:24 (KJ21)
Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Psalms 31:24 (NAS)
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD.

Psalms 31:24 (NIVUS)
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

Psalms 31:24 (NLT)
So be strong and take courage, all you who put your hope in the LORD!

You may be experiencing something now that is trying to rob you of your strength and security. However, now you must draw upon your knowledge of the Lord your God; you must remember what He has done for you in the past. You must strengthen yourself and harden your resolve. Find ways to encourage your mind and use God's word to repair your thoughts and feelings.

As you do all that you can, Adonai will strengthen you. Your heart will become firm again and you will start feeling secure once more. The Lord will give you the boldness and the courage that you need to face anything. Your faith will not be weak and flimsy, but hard and solid.

Therefore, continue to wait on and hope in Jehovah, your Lord. Expect Him to come through for you and you will not be disappointed.
