Today we had an assignment to read a bunch of Bible verses with promises in them, and then write in our journal our favorite one. It was a pretty hard choice as it is the Bible and most of it is good, (I used most, because of Job, not that it’s bad in any way but due to the fact that it is mostly sad, and may be interpreted as bad because God lets things happen to Job even though he didn’t do anything wrong, even though it is sort of encouraging in a way because of Job’s courage and  faithfulness towards God even though most would turn away because He let “bad” things happen to them even though they are really good because they bring the greater glory to God.) Now back to the question, I personally liked Isaiah 41:13 myself, here it is: “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
The ancient city of Ur was in modern-day Iraq, Abram lived in Ur before he knew God. Ur was a port city, and it has been around for a very long time.
