I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.”
He declares (or knows or predicts) the end from the beginning.
Isaiah 45:21
Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it form that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me.
Only God has the ability to reveal the future, because only God knows the future.

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
He invites us to praise Him, and He will deliver us from our fears.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
He promises to strengthen us in all our difficulties. He is there for us, not against us.
Isaiah 43:10-13
“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. I, I am the Lord, and besides me there is no savior. I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and I am God. Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?”
He promises to be with us even through our greatest trials.
Hebrews 13:5
He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
