1 Corinthians 10:13 GNB

Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.

A thousand may fall dead beside you, 10,000 all round you, but you will not be harmed. You will look and see how the wicked are punished.

God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go.

Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples scolded the people. When Jesus noticed this, he was angry and said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you that whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them.

Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things."
