lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my
tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

before, and laid thine hand upon me.

for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou
art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Romans 4:18-24
NLT
18 Even when there was no reason for
hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father
of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many
descendants you will have!”
19 And Abraham’s faith did not
weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body
was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.
20 Abraham never wavered in
believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in
this he brought glory to God.
21 He was fully convinced that God
is able to do whatever He promises.
22 And because of Abraham’s faith,
God counted him as righteous.
23 And when God counted him as
righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded
24 for our benefit, too, assuring us
that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in Him, the
one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Now the God of hope fill you with

peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard
your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
James 4:8,10 KJV
8 Draw nigh to God, and He will draw
nigh to you..."
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of
The Lord, and He shall lift you up.
I Peter 4:12,13
KJV
12 Beloved, think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some
strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are

revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

NLT (Christ Is Our High Priest)
14 So then, since we have A Great
High Priest who has entered heaven,
Jesus The Son Of God, let us hold
firmly to what we believe.

understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we
do, yet He did not sin.
16 So let us come boldly to the
throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we
will find grace to help us when we need it most.
