My Hope is in You

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.  We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him. Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.

I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. As for me, I will wait continually, and will continue to praise you.
