Word of God Speak...

Thank you so much to everyone who has been messaging me with Scripture...It's about the only thing that calms my mind and brings me peace. SO. I thought I would post some of those things there....maybe they can comfort all of us...

Romans 5:1-5: Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance' and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Psalm 121:1-3. "I lift my eyes up to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from You, Maker of heaven, Creator of the earth. May he not allow your foot to slip. He who protects never sleeps."

Isaiah 43:10-13 "You are my witnesses," declares the Lord, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he, before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed - I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses, "declares the Lord, "that I am God. Yes, from the ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?

Psalm 9:10 - "Those who know your name will trust in you, for you Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

Psalm 3: 3-7 - "But you O Lord are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain. I lay down and slept, yet I woke in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side. Arise O Lord! Rescue me, my God!"

Psalm 91:14-16 - "Because He loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer hi,; I will be with him in trouble, I will dieliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Psalm 31: O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced. Save me ,for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a fortress where I will be safe. You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger. Pul me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone. I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me Lord, for you are a faithful God. I hate those who worship worthless idols. I TRUST IN THE LORD. I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish in my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but you have set me in a safe place. Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. My body and soul are withering away. I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Sin has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within.....BUT I AM TRUSTING YOU, O LORD saying YOU ARE MY GOD! My future (Anthony and Katie's future) is in your hands! Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly. Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me....How great is the goodness You have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. You hide them in the shelter of your presence...Praise the Lord, for He has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love. He kept me safe when my city was under attack. In panic I cried out, "I am cut off from the Lord!" But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help. Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to Him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. SO BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, ALL YOU WHO HOPE IN THE LORD!

2 Chronicles 20! The battle is the Lords! Sing and praise Him for His holy splendor!

Psalm 27 (assorted verses) The Lord is my light and my salvation - so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?...The one thing I ask of the Lord - the thing I seek most- is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in his temple. For he will conceal me there when troubles come; he wil hide me in his sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock...Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "Lord, I am coming."...You have always been my helper. Don't leave me now, don't abandon me, God of y salvation!...Teach me how to live O Lord. Lead me along the right path, for my enemies are waiting for me....Yet I am confident that I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

Isaiah 40 (assorted verses) - Look up into the heavens. Who created the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single on is missing....Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives the power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Romans 12:12 - Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying!

Psalm 139 (various verses)

O Lord you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride on the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me and the light around me to become night - but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed...

2 Corinthians 4: 7-12

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves! We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the LIFE of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies. So we life in the face of death, but this has resulted in eternal life for you!

Habakkuk 3: 17-19

Even though fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD! I WILL BE JOYFUL IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION! THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS MY STRENGTH! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.
