Trust in the Name of the LORD Our God

Psalm 20:1-9

May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
2May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion!
3May he remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices!
Selah

4May he grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans!
5May we shout for joy over your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!

6Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving might of his right hand.
7Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.

9O LORD, save the king!
May he answer us when we call.

Take up your cross and follow Christ

Luke 9:23-24

Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.

Matt. 10:38
And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

John 12:25
The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

2 Timothy 3:12
Yes, and everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Gaining the world but losing your soul

Mark 8:36

What good does it do for people to win the whole world yet lose their lives?

Luke 9:25
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?

Cast your burden

If you have problems or experiencing some difficulties in life cast your burdens to our Lord. He's able to extend his help to everyone that calls out his name.

Matthew 6:25
"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Psalm 55:22

Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.

Psalm 37:5

Put your life in the hands of the Lord;
have faith in him and he will do it.

Psalms 37:24
When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.

1 Peter 5:7
Turn all your anxiety over to God because he cares for you

Philippians 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Hebrews 13:5-6

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you." 6So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

The fruit of the Spirit

Galatians 5:22-25

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

When we accepted Christ's we bear fruit of the Spirit. To have a good testimony for other people we ought to live with fruit of the Spirit every day in our life. Our testimony reflects how we are as Christians. We're the banner of God.

Trust in the Lord

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight

Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Love your brother

1 John 4:20-21

If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.”-
