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. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life." Starting our day with a prayer for guidance is like setting the GPS for our soul. This Psalm reminds us to seek God's direction and to trust Him with our lives.
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." "God loves each of us as if there were only one of us." "God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile." "God will meet you where you are in order to take you where He wants you to go."
God's word and love will give you strength, even when you feel empty. So trust Him. Give Him control. Give Him your fears and anxieties and aches. Give Him all of you, and allow Him to work His beauty and grace into your life.
When asked which commandment was the most important, Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:37–39).
Psalm 31:24 - Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord! Isaiah 41:10 - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Psalm 143:8 – “Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.” Psalm 90:14 – “Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.”
Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
"Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation." "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." "Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time."
“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.” “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
2 Corinthians 12:9—“My grace is all you need, for my power is the greatest when you are weak.” Psalm 73:26—"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Nehemiah 8:10—"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."
Whatever pain, anxiety, or disappointment you are carrying, take it to our Lord God in prayer. Jesus Christ is our refuge and the present help for those who choose to trust Him. Remember to praise and thank Him always. We will yet rejoice and be glad in Him.
1. 'For God so loved the world, He gave his one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. ' 2. 'For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
“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.” “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”.
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.”
