you have already defeated them

Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] 

and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], 

because He Who lives in you is greater [mightier] than he who is in the world. 

1 John 4:4 AMP

thirsty

I lift my hands to You in prayer...

I thirst for You as parched land thirsts for rain. 

Come quickly, Lord, and answer me, for my depression deepens.

Don’t turn away from me...Let me hear of Your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting You.

Show me where to walk, for I give myself to You...I run to You to hide me.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God.

May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.

For the glory of Your name, O Lord, preserve my life.

Because of Your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.

Amen

Psalm 143:6-11

like walls

We have a strong city. 

God's saving power surrounds it 

like walls and towers. 

Open its gates 

so that those who do what is right can enter. 

They are the people who remain faithful to God. 

Lord, you will give perfect peace 

to anyone who commits himself to be faithful to you. 

That's because he trusts in you. 

"Trust in the Lord forever. 

The Lord is the Rock. 

The Lord will keep us safe forever."

Isaiah 26:1-4 NIRV

 

be happy and joyful

Pin It

But may the righteous be glad 

and rejoice before God; 

may they be happy and joyful. 

Psalm 68:3

obey Him

A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, 

so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. 

The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?"

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 

"Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"

They were terrified and asked each other, 

"Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

Mark 4:35-41 NIV

Lord, You will grant us peace;
      all we have accomplished is really from You.

a special place

sow, reap

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; 

whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 

Let us not become weary in doing good, 

for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:7-9 NIV
