Everyone goes through a hard time in their life.

The passages also offer an assurance that God has such resistance under control and will ultimately overwhelm it.

Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

I fear neither death nor fire, being prepared for both.

God knows the burdens you carry and the tears you shed. He is the healer of broken hearts, broken dreams and broken lives. Trust Him; He never fails.

The man who stands with God is always in the majority.

Here lies one who feared God so much that he never feared the face of any man.

Whatever gets you through the night is all right.

Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need to search any further for security.

Years since have proved to me over and over again that the heart set to do the Father's will need never fear defeat. His promises of guidance may be fully counted upon.

Before the trip I read that pilgrims often bring a small rock or stone from their home. It represents a burden they've been carrying or a loved one they are grieving or a sin for which they're doing penance. At some point on the Camino, they lay down that stone. The most popular place is at the Cruz de Ferro in Spain, the highest point on the Camino Frances.
