Scripture references
Whatever happens, always be thankful. This is how God wants you to live in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 ERV
Some of us once sat in darkness, living in the dark shadows of death. We were prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets.
Psalm 107:10, 14 TPT
[14]His light broke through the darkness and he led us out in freedom from death’s dark shadow and snapped every one of our chains.
Don’t run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And true patience brought on by endurance will equip you to complete the long journey and cross the finish line-mature, complete, and wanting nothing. If you don’t have all the wisdom needed for this journey, then all you have to do is ask God for it; and God will grant all that you need. He gives lavishly and never scolds you for asking.
James 1:2-5 Voice
Let your roots grow down deeply in Him, and let Him build you up on a firm foundation. Be strong in the faith, just as you were taught, and always spill over with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:7 Voice
