Do not fret
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil.
Psalm 37:8
I’m a fretter/worrier. I’m also quick to anger. Both of these are dangerous things that could lead to sin. I’m sure most of you already know about the anger one, because when one is angry, one often says/does stupid [...]
Silence by choice
Lord, you have seen this, do not be silent. Do not be far from me, Lord.
Psalm 35:22
Sometimes I wonder why God seems so far away, and that when I cry out to Him, I can’t seem to hear His voice. Is He ignoring me on purpose? Does He hate me now? But as I [...]
Morning Will Come
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.
Psalm 30:5

Don't Put Me To Shame
No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.
Psalm 25:3
It’s weird, but you’d think that of all people, your close friends would be the least judgmental when it comes to you. Not in my case though. I know they mean no [...]

“As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.”
Psalm 17:15
These past 2 weeks have been down weeks for me, and when I say down, I do mean down. Not your average “it’s exam week” or “oh it’s that time of [...]
Seek and You Will Find
I still remember when I got my first bible as a child, I was so excited to read it and made it a goal to finish it within a year. I started reading Genesis, full of anticipation, yet when I got into the ho-hum parts of Exodus, where the bible just talks about building the [...]
God is The Judge
