Troubles, trouble everywhere,
Leaving many in despair.
Turning, churning, there’s no doubt
It’s the work of those with clout.
Princes, kings, and CEOs,
They’re the people in the know
Twisting all what’s going on,
Hope the people to respond.
Stirring, stirring all things up,
Hoping things will...
“Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him
For the help of His presence.
O my God, my soul is in despair within me;
Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
Deep...
I'm new on here and I have questions about some recent struggles I've had.
For the first, I'd say 25-30 years of my life I was very much a Christian. From the ages of 8-18 I went to a Christian summer camp for a week and very much felt a connection with God. I also helped with the Children's...
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all...
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in princes.
14 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.
28 You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, I extol You.
29 Give thanks to the...
5 “All day long they distort my words;
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They attack, they lurk,
They watch my steps,
As they have waited to take my life.
7 Because of wickedness, cast them forth,
In anger put down the peoples, O God!
8 You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my...
“Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me;
Fighting all day long he oppresses me.
2 My foes have trampled upon me all day long,
For they are many who fight proudly against me.
3 When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
In God I have put my trust...
“The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
‘How long, O Lord, will I call for help,
And You will not hear?
I cry out to You, “Violence!”
Yet You do not save.
Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
Yes, destruction and violence are before me;
Strife exists and...
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these...
“Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men
Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.
They sharpen their tongues as a serpent;
Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.
“Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent...
