| 0:00.0 | In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world. |
| 0:07.1 | John chapter 16, verse 33. |
| 0:12.0 | Welcome to this daily encouragement from our daily bread. |
| 0:16.1 | What God will do was written and read by Amy Boucher Pie. |
| 0:21.9 | John chapter 16 verses 31 through 33. |
| 0:26.7 | Do you now believe? Jesus replied, a time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. |
| 0:35.8 | You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my father is with me. |
| 0:42.0 | I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. |
| 0:50.0 | But take heart, I have overcome the world. |

| 1:39.7 | He noted how Jesus had spoken to his disciples about the inevitability of peril, so that when |
| 1:46.1 | horrible things happened, they would not be scared because he was with them. Jesus told his |
| 1:53.2 | friends, in this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world. He wanted them to remain strong in their faith in |
| 2:04.5 | his father so they could withstand the trials and challenges they would endure. Biddy's quiet confidence |
| 2:12.8 | in God carried her through, and eventually the books were reprinted and became classics for generations. |
