God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”-C.S. Lewis
Live your life. Don’t let your life live you.
—Archibald MacLeish
Every person confronts three great questions: Where am I from? Whither am I going? And what must I do on the way?
—John Ruskin

1 Blessed is the man That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Ephesians
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Troubled soul
9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: Mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: But a good word maketh it glad.
25 Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
26 The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: But the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
15 All the days of the afflicted are evil: But he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: But a broken spirit drieth the bones.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: But I hope in thy word.
105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path.
114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
