Another Scripture Slam

The other night my brother became very sick. It was a very scary thing and I am still not sure what the whole story is. I only talked to my mom and her story was quite confusing. So I went on my Myspace and Facebook and asked for prayer. People from all over the USA were praying. I posted on my message boards. Total strangers prayed and are still praying according to their messages for continued healing. I love my brother and it was a difficult, sleepless night. I just had to wait for phone calls. But I still felt a peace when Tammy was driving him tp Tri-Cities that God was with them and that everything would be ok. God is so good, he is so faithful. So here are scriptures I am holding onto and reading these days....

Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him...Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.

But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
~ Psalm 13:5, NLT

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
~ Hebrews 4:16, NLT

The Lord is like a father to His children, tender and compassionate to those who fear Him.
~ Psalm 103:13, NLT

Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
~ 1 Peter 5:7, NLT

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
~ John 14:1, NLT

Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
~ Jeremiah 33:3, NLT

I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer.
~ Psalm 120:1, NLT

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
~ Proverbs 4:23, NLT

O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.
~ Psalm 62:8, NLT

"No, O people, the Lord has already told you what is good, and this is what He requires: to do what is right, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
~ Micah 6:8, NLT

"Whoever pursues godliness and unfailing love will find life, godliness and honor."
~ Proverbs 21:21, NLT

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
~ Proverbs 13:12, NLT
