rest your worries with truth

I have found that there is rest from my worries and anxieties when I take a moment to reflect on what is true.
But I think the key, at least for me, is having that truth written down.  
{must be why the bible exists, huh?}
Because when we are in our mess of stuff, remembering it by our own will seems to be the last thing we’re able to do.

So, I’ve created my own little Truth List.

In fact, lately I’ve added to that list (see below) by writing down the lies I catch myself believing, and then next to it, I write what is true….
then I keep it close by for the next time I catch myself wrapped up in those same lies.  
Because after all, aren’t they always the same ones that run through our minds?
There is healing and rest in the truth.
You just have to remember what it is.

So, I thought I’d share my own list that I’ve been compiling over the last three and half years…
the list that brings me rest and peace.
The list that will never be complete, I’m sure.

You will keep in PERFECT PEACE 
him whose mind is steadfast, 
because he trusts in you.
Isaiah 26:3
The Lord WILL FIGHT FOR YOU; you need only to BE STILL.
Exodus 14:14
I lift my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber.
Psalm 121:1-3
He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord your God is with you.  He is MIGHTY TO SAVE.  He will take GREAT DELIGHT in you.  He WILL QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE.  He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
For God has not give us a spirit of fear, but of POWER and of LOVE and of A SOUND MIND.
2 Timothy 1:7
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings 
until the disaster has passed.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who fulfills {his purpose} for me.
Psalm 57:1-2
He who dwells in the shadow of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers, 
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror if night, 
nor the arrow that flies by day,
not the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, 
nor the plague that destroys at midday.  
A thousand may fall by your side,
ten thousand at your right hand, 
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes 
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you make the Most High your dwelling —
even the Lord, who is my refuge —
then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
they will lift you up in their hands
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him,
I will be with him in trouble, 
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him 
and show him my salvation.”
Psalm 91
May the God of HOPE fill you with all JOY and PEACE as you TRUST in Him so you may overflow with HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.  He cares for those who trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11

  2. i love finding bloggers who are also Saved. for some reason it brings comfort to me. love these, thanks 🙂

  3. thanks girls….i can’t tell you how much your comments mean to me.

    just to know that these scriptures touch you as well makes the search (and struggles) to find them over the years WORTH it. =)

  4. Matthew 6:27 “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?”

  5. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER and of LOVE and of A SOUND MIND.
    this is probably my life verse!

    1 John 4:18 Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear- is my mantra (since I have such huge fear and anxiety issues)

    Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

    Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Nehemiah 8:10
    …for the joy of the LORD is MY strength.

    Love God, Love Others. – the gospel paraphrased by my pastor and friend.

  6. Thanks so much for sharing these. I definitely needed it today.

    I would also add Romans 8:26-28: In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
