Philippians 4:4-9 NLT
4Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
6Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
8And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
John 14:1, 27 AMPC
1 DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in andadhere to andtrust in andrely on God; believe in andadhere to andtrust in andrely also on Me.
27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give andbequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
1st Peter 5:6-11 TPT
6If you bow low in God’s awesome presence, he will eventually exalt you as you leave the timing in his hands.
7Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you.
8Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. 9Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure. 10And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up. 11And he has all the power needed to do this —forever! Amen.
Psalm 1:1 NLT
1Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
Proverbs 12:1,6-7 TPT
1To learn the truth you must long to be teachable,
or you can despise correction and remain ignorant.
6The wicked use their words to ambush and accuse,
but the lovers of God speak to defend and protect.
7The wicked are taken out, gone for good,
but the godly families shall live on.
Isaiah 54:17 NLT.
17But in that coming day
no weapon turned against you will succeed.
You will silence every voice
raised up to accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;
their vindication will come from me.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
