But You, O LORD,
         reign forever;
Your throne endures
         to all generations.

              Lamentations 5. 19

(Am I forgetting that
God is mightier than anything
       that is before me?
But this,
but that,
but what about?
        But You, O LORD, reign.
Fear and anxiety flee
    at the sound of Your Holy name).

But this I call to mind,
     and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD
                     never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.

                Lamentations 3. 21-23

(The whole message of the Bible:
   God loves you more than you can know.
Dwell on that.
May this truth repeat in a continual loop
             in your thoughts,
His fresh mercies to feast on,
His song resounding in your heart 
                          through the day).

Pour out your heart like water
before the presence of the LORD.

                Lamentations 2. 19

(God never intended 
for you to carry this
               by yourself.
He loves you more
   than you can even imagine).

Know that the LORD is God.
It is He that made us,
        and not we ourselves;
we are His people,
and the sheep
             of His pasture.

                 Psalm 100. 3

(You are loved.
You belong.
You are made by God.
Dwell on that truth,
     live in the reality
     of His steadfast love.

It is He 
who made the earth
                by His power,
who established the world
                by His wisdom,
and by His understanding 
    stretched out the heavens.
...the LORD of hosts
                      is His name.

                Jeremiah 51. 15, 19

(He is far more than able 
 to handle what is before me,
                even this.
"Be faithful to Me.
Trust Me in this.
Follow Me into it.
       I am working.")

O sing to the LORD a new song,
for He has done
            marvelous things!

                          Psalm 98. 1

(Find yet another way to praise Him,
                   yet another reason.
Do something different today
                 to bless Him.
Thinking,
doing,
saying outloud.
Praising God
         changes your heart
         and restores your vision).

As for you,
always be steady,
endure suffering,
do the work of an evangelist,
fulfill your ministry.

              2 Timothy 4. 5

(You are on personal assignment,
strategically placed
         by the King of Kings.
Bring the name of Jesus there).
