We are pressed on every side by troubles

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9   Thank you heavenly Lord for your protection and grace, thank you for being my rock and my strength in times of trouble, for letting me feel your presence and never feel abandoned.

The mind governed by the flesh is death

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Romans 8:6-9 Lord, helps us to remember that you have given us victory over the flesh and that sin shall not have dominion over us. Don't let us walk in spiritual defeat, Father God, but give us the ability to fight the spiritual warfare within our hearts. May our minds be governed by your Spirit and be filled with life and peace as we submit to your will and live to please you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

All things God works for the good of those who love him

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Help me keep that in mind when I face trials, O Lord, strengthen my faith and help me trust in you even when things seem to be impossible because nothing is impossible for you, I pray in the name of your loving Son, Jesus. Amen

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 Merciful and loving Father in heaven, there is no end to your amazing grace and unconditional love. Thank you for reminding me that I have been saved through faith, not because of what I say or do, but because it is your gift of salvation through your Son, Jesus, to all those who believe.

He rewards those who earnestly seek him

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
