Needing God

Trust in the LORD and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely.

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act,

not from works, so that no one can boast.

And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Therefore, we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
