When the righteous cry for help,
the LORD hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The LORD is near
to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the LORD delivers
him out of them all.

Psalm 34. 17-19

(God does not promise ease, but healing,
strength and deliverance.
The LORD hears, the LORD is near, the LORD delivers.
Take those promises with you today).

The young lions suffer want and hunger,
but those who seek the LORD
lack no good thing.

Psalm 34.10

(Throughout His Word, God calls us
to seek Him first,
not as a last resort.
Look for how He provides and protects).

A king is not saved by his great army,

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

The war horse is a vain hope for victory,

and by its great might it cannot save.

Behold the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,

on those who hope in His steadfast love,

that He may deliver their soul from death,

and keep them alive in famine.

Our soul waits for the LORD,

He is our help and shield.


Psalm 33. 16-20

(acknowledge from Whom your help comes)

We don't know what to do,
but our eyes are upon You.

2 Chronicles 20.12

(Seek the LORD,
and follow Him into it.
He will guide your steps).

For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.

Habakkuk 1.5

(God always works in deeper ways)

Blessed be the LORD,
for He has wondrously shown His steadfast love to me
when I was beset as in a besieged city.
I had said in my alarm,
"I am driven far from Your sight."
But You heard my supplications,
when I cried to You for help.
...Be strong,
and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the LORD.
Psalm 31. 21-22, 24

(At one time or another,
in one form or another,
we all feel besieged.
Take courage in whatever you face today.
God is working mightily in you and through you).

For I was hungry and you gave Me food,
I was thirsty and you gave Me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed Me,
I was naked and you clothed Me,
I was sick and you visited Me,
I was in prison and you came to Me.
...Truly, I say to you,
as you did it to one of the least of My brethren,
you did it to Me.

Matthew 25. 35-36, 40

(God changes how you see the world,
not as a duty
but as a response to Him.
Who has He put in your path today?)
