Lifeboat

I was speaking with a friend the other day whom was in the middle of an overwhelming situation.
She and her husband kept fluctuating between going ahead or not going ahead. Anyway, it made me think how many of us are in similar situations and need relief from the stress and an answer to the situation.
In thinking on this I realized that the only true defense is God, our 'LIFEBOAT'.
So lets all climb on board.

"Those that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up on wings like
eagles;
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint."  Isaiah 40:31

"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." Proverbs 3:5 & 6

"And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7

"For God did not give us a spirit of fear,
but a spirit of power, love and a sound
mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside still (quiet) waters,
He restores my soul.
He leads (guides) me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy (love) shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and
learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is
easy  and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30

"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold
 in times of trouble." Psalm 9:9

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
Yet not one of them will fall to the ground
apart from the will of your Father. And even
the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
So don't be afraid; you are worth more than
many sparrows."  Matthew 10: 29-31

Be at peace my friends and enjoy the ride,
Shifra
