Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Memory verses from a Bible study I am participating in…
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation! ~ Psalm 68:19
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ~ 1Thes. 5: 16-18
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.~~Psalm 127:1
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down to estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’” ~~Luke 14: 28-30
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.—Jeremiah 29:11
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character, and character, hope –Romans 5:1-4
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139: 23-24
Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects, therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.-Job 5:1
The Lord is Almighty, able to take the bad or the painful and use it for good, for His will. Through Him, we are stronger than we ever thought we could or would be.
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
