After this, Abram had a vision and heard the LORD say to him, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I will shield you from danger and give you a great reward."

The LORD is our protector and glorious king, blessing us with kindness and honor. He does not refuse any good thing to those who do what is right.

At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.

O LORD, you protect me and save me; your care has made me great, and your power has kept me safe.

I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a blessing.

I promise that I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the seashore. Your descendants will conquer their enemies.

May the LORD give you children--- you and your descendants!
