Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.
The Lord tells us not to worry. Take his advice. If you feel yourself starting to worry, turn to God in prayer for peace.
Can any of you by worrying add a moment to your life-span?
Luke 12:25-16
To walk by faith does not mean to stop thinking.
To trust God does not mean that we can be lazy and expect God to “bail us out.” The Lord has blessed us with the ability to discern and act in His will. Strengthen your faith today by holding yourself personally responsible for your actions.
Indeed, we had accepted within ourselves the sentence of death, that we might trust not in ourselves but in God who raises the dead. He rescued us from such great danger of death, and he will continue to rescue us; in him we have put our hope [that] he will also rescue us again,
2 Corinthians 1:9-10
Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.
Remember: God needs more hands and less advice. Show others you're a follower of Christ by serving others as He served us.
Whoever preaches, let it be with the words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. IV. Advice to the Persecuted - Trial of Persecution.
1 Peter 4:11
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Read this line very slowly and let it sink in... If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Remember that He loves you, and that he will get you through everything you encounter.
Mem - The valiant one whose steps are guided by the LORD, who will delight in his way, May stumble, but he will never fall, for the LORD holds his hand.

What I gave, I have…What I didn’t give, I’ve lost forever.
Find the courage, the energy, and the will to follow your heart and to do what is right. Today’s opportunities to give are lost tomorrow.
Mem - The valiant one whose steps are guided by the LORD, who will delight in his way, May stumble, but he will never fall, for the LORD holds his hand.
2 Timothy 17
Courage is the mastery of fear, not the absence of it.

Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
Ephesians 6:13
We are most like beasts when we kill. We are most like men when we judge. We are most like God when we forgive.
It is not easy to forgive those who have deeply hurt us, but they are likely the ones who need our love the most. Forgive them and let the light of God shine through you.
That their hearts may be encouraged as they are brought together in love, to have all the richness of fully assured understanding, for the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ,
Colossians 2:2
Give your troubles to God: He will be up all night anyway.
Don't loose sleep over your problems. Before you go to bed tonight, thank God for all that He has given you and put your problems in his hand.
He will not allow your foot to slip; or your guardian to sleep.
Psalm 121:3
WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

James 5:15
No one knows what the next year will bring, but one thing is sure: God will be with us and He is enough for every difficulty that may arise.

My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.

Micah 3:8
Through indecision opportunity is often lost.
Ask God to give you the courage and the energy to act on your instincts instead of just pondering the consequences.

Psalm 81 An Admonition to Fidelity - For the leader; “upon the gittith.” Of Asaph.
Psalm 81:1
Shared joy is a double joy. Shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
The secret to life is not simply enjoying joys and enduring sorrows, it is sharing both with others. Share your joys so you can encourage others. Share your sorrows to help heal you soul.
Two are better than one: They get a good wage for their toil.

2 Chronicles 30:26-28
A sculptor was asked how he could carve a lion’s head out of a large block of marble. “I just chip away everything that doesn’t look like a lion’s head,” was his reply.
God works the same on us, chipping away everything that doesn’t look like Christ. Allow God to sculpt you today. Let him chip away your impatience, short temper and pride.
All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Matthew 19:21
Good habits result from resisting temptation.
Today’s challenge is not simple, but it’s easy to understand – choose to do what is right. Repeat it again tomorrow…and the next day, and the next…
No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it. Warning Against Idolatry.
