We’ve put together these scriptures to bring you peace and comfort in the midst of stressful situations.
for the next few minutes I want us to
meditate on God’s Word together I’m
gonna read to you several Psalms and
prophesies of victory and peace for your
life try to take a few deep breaths find
a quiet space in your heart so that you
can really receive the Word of God in a
personal way for your life I will lift
up my eyes to the hills from whence
comes my help my help comes from the
Lord who made heaven and earth he will
not allow your foot to be moved he who
keeps you will not slumber behold he who
keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor
sleep the Lord is your keeper the Lord
is your shade at your right hand the Sun
shall not strike you by day nor the moon
by night the Lord shall preserve you
from all evil he shall preserve your
soul the Lord shall preserve your going
out and your coming in from this time
forth and even forevermore
[Music]
this is what the Lord says in the time
of my favor I will answer you and in the
day of salvation I will help you I will
keep you and will make you to be a
covenant for the people to restore the
land and to reassign its desolate
inheritances to say to the captives come
out and to those in darkness be free
they will feed beside the roads and find
pasture on every barren hill they will
neither hunger nor thirst nor will the
desert heat or the Sun beat down on them
he who has compassion on them will guide
them and lead them beside Springs of
water I will turn all my mountains into
roads and my highways will be raised up
shout for joy you heavens rejoice you
earth burst into song you mountains for
the Lord comforts his people and will
have compassion on his afflicted ones
[Music]
he who dwells in the secret place of the
Most High shall abide under the shadow
of the Almighty I will say of the Lord
he is my refuge and my fortress my god
in him I will trust surely he shall
deliver you from the snare of the Fowler
and from the perilous pestilence he
shall cover you with his feathers and
under his wings you shall take refuge
his truth shall be your shield and
buckler you shall not be afraid of the
terror by night nor of the arrow that
flies by day nor of the pestilence that
walks in darkness nor of the destruction
that lays waste at noonday a thousand
may fall at your side and ten thousand
at your right hand but it shall not come
near you only with your eyes shall you
look and see the reward of the wicked
because you have made the Lord who is my
refuge even the most high your dwelling
place no evil shall befall you nor shall
any plague come near your dwelling for
he shall give his angels charge over you
to keep you in all your ways in their
hands they shall bear you up lest you
dash your foot against a stone you shall
tread upon the lion and the Cobra the
young lion in the serpent you shall
trample underfoot because he has set his
love upon me therefore I will deliver
him I will set him on high because he
has known my name he shall call upon me
and I will answer him I will be with him
in trouble I will deliver him and honor
him with long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation
then I saw a new heaven and a new earth
for the first heaven and the first earth
had passed away and there was no longer
any sea I saw the holy city the New
Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from
God prepared as a bride beautifully
dressed for her husband and I heard a
loud voice from the throne saying look
God’s dwelling place is now among the
people and he will dwell with them they
will be his people and God Himself will
be with them and be their God he will
wipe every tear from their eyes there
will be no more death or mourning or
crying or pain for the old order of
things has passed away he who was seated
on the throne said I am making
everything new then he said write this
down for these words are trustworthy and
true he said to me it is done I am the
Alpha and the Omega the beginning and
the end to the thirsty I will give water
without cost from the spring of the
water of life those who are victorious
will inherit all this and I will be
their God and they will be my children
[Music]
then he said to me prophesied to these
bones and say to them dry bones hear the
word of the Lord this is what the
sovereign Lord says to these bones I
will make breath enter you and you will
come to life I will attach tendons to
you and make flesh come upon you and
cover you with skin I will put breath in
you and you will come to life then you
will know that I am the Lord so I
prophesied as I was commanded and as I
was prophesying there was a noise a
rattling sound and the bones came
together bone to bone I looked and
tendons and flesh appeared on them and
skin covered them there was no breath in
them then he said to me prophesy to the
breath prophesy Son of Man and say to it
this is what the sovereign Lord says
come breath from the four winds and
breathe into the slain that they may
live so I prophesied as he commanded me
and breath entered them they came to
life and stood up on their feet a vast
army then he said to me son of man these
bones are the people of Israel they say
our bones are dried up in our hope is
gone we are cut off therefore prophesy
and say to them this is what the
sovereign Lord says my people I am going
to open up your graves and bring you up
from them I will bring you back to the
land of Israel then you my people will
know that I am the Lord when I open your
graves and bring you up from them I will
put my spirit in you you will live and I
will settle you in your own land
then you will know that I the LORD have
spoken and I have done it declares the
Lord
Lord how many are my foes how many rise
up against me many are saying of me God
will not deliver him but you Lord are a
shield around me my glory the one who
lifts my head high
the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
he maketh me to lie down in green
pastures he leadeth me beside the still
waters he restoreth my soul he leadeth
me in the paths of righteousness for his
name’s sake yay though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death I will
fear no evil for thou art with me thy
rod and thy staff they comfort me
thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies thou anointest
my head with oil my cup runneth over
surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord forever
[Music]
the Lord is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear the Lord is the
strength of my life of whom shall I be
afraid when the wicked even my enemies
and my foes came upon me to eat up my
flesh they stumbled and fell though a
host should encamp against me my heart
shall not fear the war should rise
against me in this will I be confident
one thing have I desired of the Lord
that will I seek after that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord all the days of
my life to behold the beauty of the Lord
and to enquire in his temple for in the
time of trouble he shall hide me in his
pavilion in the secret place of his
Tabernacle shall he hide me he shall set
me up upon a rock and now shall my head
be lifted up above my enemies round
about me therefore will I offer in his
Tabernacle sacrifices of joy I will sing
yay I will sing praises unto the Lord
here Oh Lord when I cry with my voice
have mercy
also upon me and answer me when you said
seek my face my heart said unto thee thy
face Lord will I seek hide not thy face
far from me but not thy servant away in
anger thou has been my help
leave me not neither forsake me O God of
my salvation when my father and mother
forsake me then the Lord will take me up
teach me thy way O Lord and lead me in a
plain path because of my enemies deliver
me not over unto the will of my enemies
for false witnesses are risen up against
me and such as breathe out cruelty I had
fainted unless I had believed to see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the
living
wait on the Lord be of good courage and
he shall strengthen thine heart wait I
say on the Lord I waited patiently for
the Lord he turned to me and heard my
cry he lifted me out of the slimy pit
out of the mud and mire he set my feet
on a rock and gave me a firm place to
stand he put a new song in my mouth a
hymn of praise to our God many will see
and fear the Lord and put their trust in
him blessed is the one who trusts in the
Lord who does not look to the proud to
those who turn aside to false gods many
Lord my god are the wonders you have
done the things you plan for us none can
compare with you or I to speak and tell
of your deeds they would be too many to
declare
[Music]
hear my cry oh guy attend unto my prayer
from the end of the earth will I cry
unto thee when my heart is overwhelmed
lead me to the rock that is higher than
I
for thou has been a shelter for me and a
strong tower from the enemy I will abide
in that Tabernacle forever I will trust
in the cover of thy wings for Thou O God
has heard my vows thou has given me the
heritage of those that fear thy name
praise the Lord my soul all my inmost
being praise His Holy Name praise the
Lord my soul and forget not all his
benefits who forgives all your sins and
heals all your diseases who redeems your
life from the pit and crowns you with
love and compassion who satisfies your
desires with good things so that your
youth is renewed like the Eagles the
Lord works righteousness and justice for
all the oppressed he made known his ways
to Moses his deeds to the people of
Israel the Lord is compassionate and
gracious slow to anger abounding in love
he will not always accuse nor will he
harbour his anger forever he does not
treat us as our sins deserve or repay US
according to our iniquities for as high
as the heavens are above the earth so
great is his love for those who fear Him
as far as the East is from the west so
far has he removed our transgressions
from us as a father has compassion on
his children so the Lord has compassion
on those who fear Him for he knows how
we are formed he remembers that we are
dust the life of mortals is like grass
they flourish like the flower of the
field the wind blows over it and it is
gone and its place remembers it no more
but from everlasting to everlasting the
Lord’s love is with those who fear him
and his righteousness with their
children’s children
with those who keep his covenant and
remember to obey his precepts the Lord
has established his throne in heaven in
his kingdom rules over all praise the
Lord you his angels you mighty ones who
do his bidding who obey his word praise
the Lord all his heavenly hosts you his
servants who do his will praise the Lord
all his works everywhere in his Dominion
praise the Lord my soul the grass
withers and the flowers fall because the
breath of the Lord blows on them surely
the people are grass the grass withers
and the flowers fall but the word of our
God endures forever you who bring good
news to Zion go up on a high mountain
you who bring good news to Jerusalem
lift your voice with a shout lift it up
do not be afraid say to the towns of
Judah here is your God see the sovereign
Lord comes with power and he rules with
a mighty arm see his reward is with him
and his recompense accompanies him he
tends his flock like a shepherd he
gathers the Lambs in his arms and
carries them close to his heart he
gently leads those that have young who
has measured the waters in the hollow of
his hand or with the breath of his hand
marked off the heavens who has helped
the dust of the earth in a basket or
weighed the mountains on the scales and
the hills in a balance who can fathom
the Spirit of the Lord or instruct the
Lord as his counselor whom did the Lord
consult to enlighten him
and who taught him the right way who was
it that taught him knowledge or showed
him the path of understanding he gives
strength to the weary and increases the
power of the weak even youths grow tired
and weary and young men stumble and fall
but those who hope in the Lord will
renew their strength they will soar on
wings like eagles they will run and not
grow weary they will walk and not be
faint
[Music]
sing o barren thou that didst not bear
break forth into singing and cry aloud
now that it’s not travail with child for
more are the children of the desolate
than the children of the married wife
saith the Lord enlarge the place of thy
tent and let them stretch forth the
curtains of thine habitations spare not
lengthen thy courts and strengthen thy
stakes for thou shalt break forth on the
right hand and on the left and thy seed
shall inherit the Gentiles and make the
desolate cities to be inhabited fear not
for thou shalt not be ashamed neither be
thou confounded for thou shalt not be
put to shame
for thou shalt forget the shame of thy
youth and shalt not remember the
reproach of thy widowhood anymore
for thy maker is thine husband the Lord
of Hosts is his name and thy Redeemer
the Holy One of Israel the God of the
whole earth shall he be called
[Music]
no weapon that is formed against thee
shall prosper and every tongue that
shall rise against the in judgment thou
shalt condemn this is the heritage of
the servants of the Lord and their
righteousness is of me sayeth the Lord
it is written I believed therefore I
have spoken since we have that same
spirit of faith we also believe and
therefore speak because we know that the
one who raised the Lord Jesus from the
dead will also raise us with Jesus and
present us with you to himself all this
is for your benefit so that the grace
that is reaching more and more people
may cause Thanksgiving to overflow to
the glory of God therefore we do not
lose heart though outwardly we are
wasting away yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day for our light and
momentary troubles are achieving for us
an eternal glory that far outweighs them
all so we fix our eyes not on what is
seen but on what is unseen since what is
seen is temporary but what is unseen is
eternal
I consider that our present sufferings
are not worth comparing with the glory
that will be revealed in us for the
creation waits in eager expectation for
the children of God to be revealed for
the creation was subjected to
frustration not by its own choice but by
the will of the one who subjected it in
hope that the creation itself will be
liberated from its bondage to decay and
brought into the freedom and glory of
the children of God 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 for those God
foreknew he also predestined to be
conformed to the image of his son that
he might be the firstborn among many
brothers and sisters and those he
predestined he also called those he
called he also justified those he
justified he also glorified what then
shall we say in response to these things
if God is for us who can be against us
he who did not spare his own son but
gave him up for us all how will he not
also along with him graciously give us
all things
who will bring any charge against those
whom God has chosen it is God who
justifies who then is the one who
condemns no one Christ Jesus who died
more than that who was raised to life is
at the right hand of God and is also
interceding for us who shall separate us
from the love of Christ shall trouble or
hardship or persecution or famine or
nakedness or danger or sword as it is
written for your sake we face death all
day long we are considered as sheep to
be slaughtered no in all these things we
are more than conquerors through him who
loved us for I am convinced that neither
life nor death neither Angels nor demons
neither the present nor the future nor
any powers neither height nor depth nor
anything else in all creation will be
able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord
[Music]
