All joy be yours at all times in your union with the Lord. Again I repeat – All joy be yours. Let your forbearing spirit be plain to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God. Then the peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus. In conclusion, friends, whenever you find things that are true or honorable, righteous or pure, lovable or praiseworthy, or if virtue and honor have any meaning, let them fill your thoughts. Philippians 4:4-8
But I will sing of your might; I will ring out your love in the morning. For to me you have been a sure refuge, a retreat in the day of my trouble. My strength, I will sing praise to you, for God is my sure retreat, my faithful God. Psalm 59:16-17
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor archangels, nor the present, nor the future, nor any powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus, our Lord! Romans 8:38-39
Always be joyful; never cease to pray; under all circumstances give thanks to God. For this is his will for you as made known in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, ready to forgive one another, just as God, in Christ, forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
I wait alone in silence for God; for from him comes my hope. Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely. On God rests my honor and safety, in God is my strong rock, my refuge.Psalm 62:5-7
The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need. He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest, he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.Psalm 23:1-3
