28 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

7 Be still in the presence of the Lord,

and wait patiently for him to act.

Don’t worry about evil people who prosper

or fret about their wicked schemes.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God!

I will be honored by every nation.

I will be honored throughout the world."

8 O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge. Interlude

3 You will keep in perfect peace

all who trust in you,

all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

15 This is what the Sovereign Lord,

the Holy One of Israel, says:

"Only in returning to me

and resting in me will you be saved.

In quietness and confidence is your strength.

But you would have none of it.

17 And this righteousness will bring peace.

Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.

31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint.

7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

14 Wait patiently for the Lord.

Be brave and courageous.

Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,

and he turned to me and heard my cry.

22 Give your burdens to the Lord,

and he will take care of you.

He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

4 Don’t sin by letting anger control you.

Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude

25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,

to those who search for him.

26 So it is good to wait quietly

for salvation from the Lord.

11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

7 "But blessed are those who trust in the Lord

and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank,

with roots that reach deep into the water.

Such trees are not bothered by the heat

or worried by long months of drought.

Their leaves stay green,

and they never stop producing fruit.

14 The Lord replied, "I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you."

12 That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him* until the day of his return.

7 Asa told the people of Judah, "Let us build towns and fortify them with walls, towers, gates, and bars. The land is still ours because we sought the Lord our God, and he has given us peace on every side." So they went ahead with these projects and brought them to completion.

27 When they reached the edge of town, Samuel told Saul to send his servant on ahead. After the servant was gone, Samuel said, "Stay here, for I have received a special message for you from God."
