May we rely on the lovingkindness of the LORD. He is a God who protects and is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth. (See Psalm 86:15 AMP) His lovingkindness extends to the heavens, His faithfulness reaches to the skies. (See Psalms 36:5 NASB1995) How precious is His unfailing love! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of His wings. (See Psalm 36:7 NLT)  What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?

(Romans 8:31-32 AMP) Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me...

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia.

We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. — 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 (NLT) No matter what troubles you go through, continue to rely on God to see you through.

But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression. — Proverbs 17:22 (TPT) A joyful heart is a heart that has learned to rely on and trust in the Most High God, His Word, His wisdom, and His ways.

Do not be worried, for the joy of the LORD is our strength! (Nehemiah 8:10) A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired. — Proverbs 17:22 (MSG)

Consider the kind of extravagant love the Father has lavished on us—He calls us children of God! It’s true; we are His beloved children. And in the same way the world didn’t recognize Him, the world does not recognize us either. (1 John 3:1 VOICE) The Passion Translation says: Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that he has lavished on us! He has called us and made us his very own beloved children … (1 John 3:1) As children of God, let us abide with Him on a moment by moment basis, not just drop by one day of the week and then check out. With humble and grateful hearts, let us confidently and daily, draw near to the throne of grace, and spend ...

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia.

God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19) He is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Amen.

His love has the first and last word in everything we do. Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own . Our Savior is alive! And He has given us new life. Let go of the old, dead things and walk in newness of life. Life in Jesus is a much better life than the one you will live without HIm. Make a firm decision to follow Christ and let all you do be motivated by His love.

Jesus came that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (John 10:10b AMP). His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness… (2 Peter 1:3 NKJV) He has given us everything we need to live the kind of life He designed for us to live.

We can be confident that God will cause all things to work together for good. We can also take joy in knowing that in Jesus we have already overcome!

It's only possible when we humble ourselves and totally depend, rely on and trust in God and recognize that He is with us. Glory hallelujah!

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God. — Isaiah 50:10 (NLT) When the storms of life come rushing in, instead of drifting away from God and allowing your faith to be shipwrecked, draw near and rely on your God. When your journey causes you to wander in the wilderness instead of the promised land, rely on your God. If life situations seem to have you imprisoned, realize that Jesus has proclaimed freedom to those held captive and given a pardon to all prisoners. When all you can see is darkness around you, look up and into the light of the LORD your God.

For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the solid Rock except our God? (Psalm 18). Lean on Him. When you don’t know what to do, rely on the wisdom of our great God. When you don’t where to go, run to His throne room. Pour out your heart before Him. He is a refuge of safety and peace.
