Psalm 46:11, ESV
We can rest our minds and hearts knowing Emmanuel, our mighty King and refuge, is with us and has saved us.
Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!
Psalm 126:5, ESV
Before the cross, we lament our sin.
After the cross, we worship our God for His grace and love.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
Psalm 51:1-2, ESV
When we humble ourselves, look inside and realize how sinful we are, we see the need for a Savior.

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:14, ESV
Our God is ever present, but He does not follow us. We follow Him.
Wait for Him. Dwell in Him. Be strong in the Lord who saves.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14, ESV
Our thoughts naturally focus on earthly and selfish things. The more we draw close to our Creator and Lord, the more our thoughts and words become godly and praiseworthy.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4, ESV
Whatever happens around us, we can know – as Christians – that our Lord is watching over us, correcting us, and protecting us. Even in affliction, we can find comfort and peace in Christ.
When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Psalm 94:19, ESV
In the craziness, hatred, sinfulness, and difficulties of this world, it is unfathomabley wonderful how great God’s love, mercy, grace, and promises are at calming and reassuring our weary hearts, souls, and minds.
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Psalm 139:23-24, ESV
An honest person knows they are a sinner in need of grace. God knows this better than we do.
If we merely ask in faith, He will guide us in all righteousness through Jesus Christ.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
Psalm 37:5, ESV
Do not merely pray for God to bless your plans. Seek His will, to walk in His wisdom, and your plans will be His plans and will succeed by His standard.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psalm 2:11, ESV
We must remember that our God is holy and just, that He does not abide sin.
Yes, He has saved us through Christ, but we also work out our salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12) and examine and test yourself to see if you are in the faith (2 Cor. 13:5).
Then we can rejoice.
