Captured response

Looking back on the week to see how He's prepared me for the things that have come .. one just before I left school (involving G), another in email from T last night and third earlier in the week with several implications - all unexpected, of course.  
Goal: offset thoughts and feelings triggered again today.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. -1Pet5:7  

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. -1Pet5:6 

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. -1Thes5:18  

God can do everything! -Luke1:37 

And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -2Cor12:9 

"Take Up Your Shield"
In addition to all this take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. -Eph6:16 

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. -Jam4:7-8 

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. -Rev12:10

"I Am Lord!"

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is The Lord's purpose that prevails. -Prov19:21

Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah). -Col3:23-24 

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. -Luke1:79 

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. -Phil4:13 

"I never run out"

And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. -Phil4:19

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) -2Cor5:7

And searching my mind for another .. The Lord will always equip for that which He calls us to do .. Heb13:21 I think/find ..

Jesus will "equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." 

Better  .. was "the straw that broke the.." feeling...

  1. He brought me to the following this afternoon..
    "God's Strong Arm"
    I will redeem you with an outstretched arm. - Exo 6:6
    The Lord kept that promise even though His often-rebellious people doubted (14:30-31). God's might arm is outstretched for us as well. No matter the outcome of your situation, He can be trusted to bring about Hi swill for each of His children. We can depend on God's strong arm. - Anne Cetas, Our Daily Bread, Fri May 17

    "What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
    Leaning on the everlasting arms;
    O how bright the path grows from day to day,
    Leaning on the everlasting arms" - Hoffman

    With God's strength behind you and His arms beneath you, you can face whatever lies ahead of you.

    Ps 20 was bookmarked for bedtime reading with S .. Amen!
