Encouraging Scriptures

Trust in the Lord withall your heart, and

that you may have greatendurance and patience,joyfully giving thanks to

the Father.

Delight yourself also inthe Lord, and He shallgive you the desires of

your heart. Commit your way to

the Lord. Trust also inHim, and He shall bring

it to pass.

Peace I leave with you.My peace I give to

you. I do not give asthe world gives.

Do not let your heartsbe troubled, and do

not be afraid.

petition, let yourrequests be madeknown unto God.
