Philippians 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Throughout this letter Paul tells us "I have all, and abound"; "my God shall supply"; "Rejoice in the Lord"; "I thank my God"; "I trust in the Lord"; Over and over Paul reminds us that whatever we are going through in life (in Paul's case, he was in prison anticipating his death) don't worry because God is in complete control. He is allowing the circumstances for a reason, and that reason is always to strengthen us. God's peace which passeth all understanding led Paul to say "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." - Garrett Longest

Psalm 3:3 - "But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." - How blessed we are to have a shield in God to hide from the attacks of this world. But not only do we hide there, He is also the One that lifts us up when we are down. Remember, no matter what we may face this week, we have a God to go to in trouble Who will raise us up when we are down. And He NEVER fails. - Matt Stephens

Philippians 4:11-12 - "Not that I speak in respect of want for I have  learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound every where and in all things I am instructed both to be hungry both to abound and to suffer need." A long time ago a good friend shared this verse with me and it helped me through a tough time...thought I would share it in case someone is having a tough time. Lean on Jesus and your Christian brothers! - Wes Smith

Psalm 18:2-3a - "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.  I will call upon the Lord..."  He's exactly what you need for whatever you face today! - Jason Barrett

2 Samuel 7:14a - "I will be his father, and he shall be my son." Psalm 27:10 - "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up." The failures of earthly fathers can be healed, and all our needs for fathering met by our true Father, God. His love and strength can altogether fill that void. It's an amazing offer to the deepest needs of our hearts. - Daniel Holser

Psalms 143:8 - “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the

morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should

walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” We should strive to take time each morning to ask CHRIST for wisdom and guidance regarding the issues and problems of that day. - Clifford Myers

Psalm 27:1 - "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"  We do not have this strength in and of ourselves. But this is quite a confidence booster going into spiritual battle, knowing that we have this kind of strength that we can and should tap in to.  - Brian Boots
