All day long I put my hope in you.” — Psalms 25:4-5 (NLT)  “...blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. ”  (Jeremiah 17:7 NLT) “The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.” (Psalms 25:8-10 NLT) And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. (Psalms 39:7 NLT) Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. (Psalms 33:22 NLT)

“ I love you, LORD; you are my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. ” — Psalms 18:1-2 (NLT) “…in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.” (Psalms 18:6 NLT) “He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me.

He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights.” (Psalms 18:30-33 NLT) Let us ...

Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. — Psalms 25:4-5 (NLT) The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. (Psalms 25:8-10) He renews our strength. He guides us along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (See Psalms 23:3) May we be humble and teachable. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 3:5-7) The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” — Psalms 32:8 (NLT)

Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. — Psalm 138:7-8 (NLT) You may be surrounded by troubles today, but be confident that the LORD will work it out.

All day long I put my hope in you. — Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT) Whatever you do, keep your hope in God alive! Those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.

He fills our lives with good things and renews our youth like the eagle’s! (Psalm 103:5 NLT)

“For I am the LORD, I do not change…” — Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) While the world is constantly changing, we have stability in the LORD. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus forgives, He saves and He heals. Jesus is forever faithful and a constant companion, full of compassion and love. The uncertainty of present day events is like shifting sand, but we have a strong foundation in the LORD. As long as we build our lives on Him, what we do in Him and for Him will last through life’s major upheavals. When the going gets tough, remember, you can count on God. He is always there for you, never to leave you nor abandon you.

  Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God. — Daniel 6:23 (NKJV) Daniel was thrown into the lions den for worshiping God. Because Daniel believed in his God, God sent His angel and shut the lions mouths, so they did not hurt him (Daniel 6:22). Our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). But our God has already given us the victory over him. Only believe. God rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions (Daniel 6:27 NLT).

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. — James 1:17 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16 NIV). Our Heavenly Father did not hold back. He gave us the perfect Gift, Jesus Christ, His Son. Jesus keeps on giving. He continually saves. He keeps on loving. Let us not hold back on God. Be a giver. Abundantly add to the lives of those around you. Give generously. Let your love be free and unconditional. Jesus came to give (life, peace, joy, love, etc.). May we follow His example.

  Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The LORD will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. — Psalm 138:7-8 NLT) The LORD will perfect that which concerns you (Psalm 138:8 NKJV). Every day of your life was written in His book before you were even born (Psalm 139:16). He has thoughts of peace toward you and not evil (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV). Nothing can thwart the good plans the LORD has for you. He will not abandon the good work He is doing in you. He goes before you and follows you. He has placed His hand of blessing on your head (Psalm 139:5 NLT). Amen!

For the LORD delights in his people;  he crowns the humble with victory. — Psalm 149:4 (NLT) The LORD our God is with us, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He takes great delight in us and rejoices over us with singing. God is ever mindful of us. He calms all our fears, with His love. Like a devoted father, takes care of his children, our heavenly Father provides for all our needs and works all things together for good. As a loving mother is attentive to her baby, Abba Father keeps watch over us and delights in our well-being. Find comfort in His care and rejoice in the LORD, our great God!

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing. — Zephaniah 3:17 (AMP) The LORD our God is in our midst. He is mighty to save. He takes great delight in His people. Once we confess our sins, He removes our transgressions from us, as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). His perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). He rejoices over us with joyful songs. Let us draw near to Him and delight in His Presence!

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. — Isaiah 26: 3 (AMP) As we keep our minds on the LORD, we will experience a continual flow of perfect peace. Let's fill our minds with thoughts of Him. Our God is mighty and strong and over all the universe. Our God, Jehovah Jireh, foresees all our needs and makes provision for us. He heals and restores us, spirit, soul and body. He delivers and saves and gives us the victory! Our God, Jehovah Shalom, is our peace. Keep your mind stayed on Him. And remember, no matter what you are going through today, this too shall pass.

“The LORD your God is with you the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”  — Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV) The LORD is with you, no matter what. He is mighty to save all who call on His name. With His love, He will calm all your fears and celebrate over you with shouts of joy. Praise the LORD!

Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.  — Psalm 17:7 (NIV) Great is the love the Father has lavished on us! He saves those who trust and take refuge in Him from those who rise up against them. The LORD daily bears our burdens and loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19). He loves us so much that we are actually called God’s dear children. And that’s what we are (1 John 3:1, GW). Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; (Lamentations 3:22-23). Hallelujah!

Even though the 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!  — Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NLT) Can we still praise God, when things are not going the way we think they should go? In spite of how things may appear, may we truly find joy in Almighty God, who saves us. Let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name (Hebrews 13:15).

Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me. Psalm 138:7-8 (NLT) The LORD will work out, whatever concerns you. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). God is faithful and you are His beloved. Be confident that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Amen.

Psalm 68:19-20 (NIV) Praise the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us along day after day. Cast every care you have on the Lord and leave them in His hands. He is more than able to handle everything that concerns you.

Be good to me, God—and now! I've run to you for dear life. I'm hiding out under your wings until the hurricane blows over. I call out to High God, the God who holds me together. He sends orders from heaven and saves me, he humiliates those who kick me around. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word. Psalm 57:1-2 (The Message) Run for dear life to the Most High God, who holds us together. Take refuge under His wings until the calamities are over. Our heavenly Father generously showers us with His love and fulfills His Word.
