13 I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]

19 And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

6 I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]. [Rom 14:10]

31 What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? [Ps 118:6]

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 He who *dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].

2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!"

7 On God my salvation and my glory rest;

He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.

3 When I am afraid,

I will put my trust and faith in You.

4 In God, whose word I praise;

In God I have put my trust;

I shall not fear.

What can mere man do to me?

19 "God is not a man, that He should lie,

Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Has He said, and will He not do it?

Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?

5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, "I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsakeorlet you downorrelax My hold on you [assuredly not]!" [Josh 1:5]

6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say,

"The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid.

What will man do to me?" [Ps 27:1; 118:6]

13 Keep and follow the pattern of sound teaching (doctrine) which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

1 So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.

5 Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart

And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

6 *In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,

And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

5 Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart

And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

6 *In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,

And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

3 *Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him],

And your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance].

20 He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good,

And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord.

25 The fear of man brings a snare,

But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the Lord will be exalted and safe.

2 Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value].

23 Jesus said to him, "[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!"

27 But He said, "The things that are impossible with people are possible with God." [Gen 18:14; Jer 32:17]

26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they?

33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world." [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

7 "Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord

And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord.

8 "For he will be [nourished] like a tree planted by the waters,

That spreads out its roots by the river;

And will not fear the heat when it comes;

But its leaves will be green and moist.

And it will not be anxious and concerned in a year of drought

Nor stop bearing fruit.

2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched,

Nor will the flame burn you.

14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that *if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.

14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that *if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.

16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit [speaking through a self-proclaimed prophet]; instead test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world.

18 The Lord is near to all who call on Him,

To all who call on Him in truth (without guile).

8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,

For I trust in You.

Teach me the way in which I should walk,

For I lift up my soul to You.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip;

He who keeps you will not slumber. [1 Sam 2:9; Ps 127:1; Prov 3:23, 26; Is 27:3]

3 Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;

Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.

19 How great is Your goodness,

Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You,

Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You,

*Before the sons of man!

25 Whom have I in heaven [but You]?

And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.

6 But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind.

7 for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]—
