trusting in god

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.

⁸Jesus Christ, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever.

⁷The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.

¹³Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.

⁶But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.

⁷Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence. ⁸And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear fruit.

¹³So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. ⁶In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

²Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us.

¹¹And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.

³⁶But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, said to the ruler of the synagogue: “Do not be afraid. You need only believe.”
