In their illness you heal all their infirmities.

Happy are those who consider the poor; the LORD delivers them in the day of trouble. The LORD protects them and keeps them alive; they are called happy in the land. You do not give them up to the will of their enemies. The LORD sustains them on their sickbed; in their illness you heal all their infirmities. As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you.” My enemies wonder in malice when I will die, and my name perish. And when they come to see me, they utter empty words, while their hearts gather mischief; when they go out, they tell it abroad. Psalm 41:1-6 My enemy has not triumphed over me By this I know that you are pleased with me; because my enemy has not triumphed over me. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Psalm 41:11-12 Even my bosom friend They think that a deadly thing has fastened on me, that I will not rise again from where I lie. Even my bosom friend in whom I trusted, who ate of my b

He shall cover you with His feathers

He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortresss; my God in Him, I will trust Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence He shall cover you with His feathers and under His wings you shall take refuge His truth shall be your shield and buckler You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lay waste at noonday A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High your dwelling place, Psalm 91:1-9 He shall give his angels charge over you No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over you to

Why spend money on what does not satisfy

The Lord says come everyone who is thirsty, here is water Come you that have no money, buy corn and eat Come buy wine and milk It will cost you nothing Why spend money on what does not satisfy Why spend your wages and still be hungry? Listen to me and do what I say And you will enjoy the best food of all Listen now my people and come to me Come to me and you will have life I will make a lasting covenant with you And give you the blessings I promised to David I made him a leader and commander of nations and through him I showed them my power. Isaiah 55:1-4 Let the wicked leave their way of life Turn to the Lord and pray to him, Now that He is near Let the wicked leave their way of life And change their way of thinking Let them turn to the Lord our God He is merciful and quick to forgive, Isaiah 55:6-7 My thoughts are not like yours My thoughts says the Lord are not like yours And my ways are different from yours As high as the heavens are above the earth so high are my thoughts and ways

O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.

O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath. Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror. My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O LORD—how long? Turn, O LORD, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love. For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who can give you praise? Psalm 6: 1-5 I am weary with my moaning I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. My eyes waste away because of grief; they grow weak because of all my foes. Psalm 6: 6-7 The LORD has heard my supplication Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror; they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame. Psalm 6: 8-10 Save me from all those who persecute me Oh Lord my God in you

I am the Vine, you are the branches

I am the vine, you are the branches Those who remain in me and I in them will bear much fruit For you can do nothing without me Whoever does not remain in men is thrown out like a branch and dries up, such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire where they are burnt. If you remain in me and my word remains in you, then you will ask for anything you wish and you shall have it. My father’s glory is shown by your bearing much fruit \and in this way, you become my disciples. I love you just as the father loves me; remain in my love John 15:5-9 The Helper I did not tell you these things at the beginning for I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you ask me where I am going. Now that I have told you, your hearts are full of sadness, but I am telling you the truth, it is better for you that I go away because if I do not go, the Helper will not come. If I go away, then I will send him to you, when he comes, he will prove to the people of the world that the
