This too will pass?

How about instead of saying, “this too will pass”; confessing  this too my Savior will walk me through?  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 (ESV)  

Shepherd

  Greater is the Good Shepherd, who has laid down his life for the sheep than the Wolf who seeks to scatter the sheep. John 16:33; John 10:10-12

Grace and truth

  Greater is he who is full of grace and truth being sent from the father than the one who is called the father of Lies.   1John 4:4; John 1:14; John 8:44

emptying

  Greater is He who emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men, than the one who is full of himself. 1John 4:4; Philippians 2:7; Isaiah 14:12-14; 2 Thess 2:4; Ezek 28:12-15

God has willed

 Though the tribulation (trouble, pain, difficulty, distress, adversity, anxiety, depression, OCD) of this world should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us us, for Jesus Christ has overcome the world. John 16:33 & Almighty fortress is our God by Martin Luther

I believe, but...

Be still and know, oh my soul; that your sinfulness, helplessness, and neediness is far greater than you think it is but be of good cheer, for your God is far more excellent, merciful, wise, and faithful than you think He is. Reference: The whole Bible especially Isaiah 6:5; 1Cor 1:30; and 2 Corinthians 5:21 I believe that with all my heart, yet there are times when I question this statement and wonder then why doesn't the assent to this statement not just bring heaven (God's grace) with all its healing power and mercy down to me and correct all the troubles within and without followed by peace of mind?

No separation from God's Love

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, who began a good work in us and will bring it to completion at the day His return and present us blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy. A medley  of Romans 8:38-39;Philippians 1:6; Jude 1:24-25

The Alpha and Omega of out faith

  Take heart oh my soul, for the one who has become to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption is seated at the right hand of the father and is interceding for you. Therefore, he is able to save to the uttermost and make you stand in the presence of his glory, blameless and with great joy. 1 Cor 1:31; Rom 8:34; Heb 7:25; Jude 1:24

Our righteousness

  Take heart oh my soul, for the one who has become to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption is seated at the right hand of the father and is interceding for you. Therefore, he is able to save to the uttermost and make you stand in the presence of his glory, blameless and with great joy. 1 Cor 1:31; Rom 8:34; Heb 7:25; Jude 1:24

Save to the Uttermost

Take heart oh my soul, the one who began a good work in you is seated at the right hand of the father and is interceding for you. Therefore, he is able to save to the uttermost and make you stand in the presence of his glory, blameless and with great joy. Phil 1:6; Rom 8:34; Heb 7:25; Jude 1:24

Completion of our Salvation belongs to Christ the overcomer

Christ is our overcomer

"....In the world you will have tribulation . But take heart"; I am able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into (my) glorious presence without a single fault, for I have overcome the world . John 16:33; Jude 1:24 (NLT2)  

Strength for this World

.....In the world you will have tribulation, but fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   John 16:33; Isaiah 41:10   And He overcomes both in the old and New Testament

Proper perspective of your God

In the morning, before waking up and surveying your situation and seeing if everything is okay, Look up and remember your God who upholds the universe by the power of His word, has been watching over you all night long as you slept.  And He is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.  See Heb 1:3; Ps 121:4 and  Jude 1:24 (NLT2)

Take Heart

“In the world you will have tribulation but take heart I have overcome the world”  The one who said this is the very radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature and he upholds the universe By the word of his power. After making purification for sins he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.  A compilation of  John 16:33; Colossians 1:15-19; Hebrews 1:3

graciously gives

  He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence ?   And it is He who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault and transform our lowly body to be like His glorious body, by the power that enables Him even to subject all things to himself. This is a medley of Romans 8:32; Peter 1:3-4; Jude 1:24; Philippians 3:20-21

God is Good

Before waking up and surveying your situation and seeing if everything is okay, look up and remember God is the same yesterday today and forever and he's good!

Prayer in dark times

Dear Jesus your word says or I should say you said you are gentle and lowly of heart and since all the fruits of the Spirit   are the main part of your character then you are full of joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.   And when we   break down the   word “Love” we find that; 4  Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5   or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful ; 6  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (ESV)   Also James 3:17 (ESV) says; But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason (easily entreated), full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.   And since this wisdom is from above then it describes the way in which God deals with me.   T...

Overcome the World

  Greater is He who has overcome the world than the Cunning deceiver, the ancient serpent.   For God has willed this truth to triumph through us. 1John 4:4; John 16:33; Rev 12:9   and A mighty Fortress is our God
