Section 1
Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name.... Sing praise to him.... Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord
rejoice. Look to the Lord and his
strength; seek his face always. from Psalm 105:1-4
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my
fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
He will cover you with his feathers, and
under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield
and rampart. You
will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the
darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. Psalm 91:2, 4-6
The name of the Lord
is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32
Let us then approach
God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find
grace to help us in our time of
need. Hebrews 4:16
He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will
boast all the more gladly about my
weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in
persecutions, in difficulties. For when
I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Rejoice in the Lord
always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to
all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:4-5

Be still, and know
that I am God. Psalm

Come to me, all you who

from all my fears. Psalm 34:4

things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called

name, you are mine. When you pass

rivers, they shall not
overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you will not be burned, the flame
shall not set your ablaze. For I am
the Lord your God, the Holy One… your Saviour… You are precious and honoured in
my sight… I love you… Do not be
afraid for I am with you.” from Isaiah

discouraged, for the Lord your God will
be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
We

103:1-2
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts. Psalm 139:23
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I
am your God. I will strengthen you and
help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about
your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will
wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important
than clothes? Look at the birds of the
air; they do not sow or reap or store
away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies
of the field grow. They do not labour or
spin. Yet I tell you that not even
Solomon in all his splendour was dressed
like one of these. If that is how God
clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more
clothe you, O you of little faith? So do
not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or
'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But
seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be
given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25-34
My God will meet all
your needs according to his riches in glory.
Philippians 4:19
Keep your eyes fixed
on Jesus. Hebrews 12:2
Cast your burden on
the Lord, and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:22
Now
may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
Section 6
My
soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is
my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2
Be still before the Lord and
wait patiently for him; do not
fret - it leads only to evil. Psalm
37:7a, 8b
Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:12-13
Trust in the Lord with
all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and He
will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
The Lord himself goes before
you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war
as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they
have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against
the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
The Lord is my
helper; I will not fear. What can
anyone do to me? Hebrews 13:6
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIrV
Finally, brothers and
sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such
things. Philippians
4:8
