This is fun, so I'll try one more: 

ISAIAH 52:12 says: "For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight, for the Lord will go before you, and the Lord of Israel will be your rear guard."

The phrase that I focused on was the last one: "the Lord of Israel will be your rear guard."

This caught the attention of my dear friend Amy Carmichael as well.  Here are her thoughts:

"...following after, not only to defend us, should the enemy attack in the rear, as he often does, but to gather us up if we flag and are weary because of the way.  And if He gathers us up, He gathers up also the things we have dropped, our poor fallen resolutions, mistakes, everything, and deals with them Himself.  There is eternal love and tenderness in these dear words."

Press on, dearheart!
