James 4:7

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Proverbs 3:25-26

Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.

Psalm 18:1-3

I love you, Lord. You are my strength.

The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender. I will call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies.

Psalm 43

God, defend me. Argue my case against those who don’t follow you. Save me from liars and those who do evil. God, you are my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why am I sad and troubled by my enemies? Send me your light and truth to guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to where you live. Then I will go to the alter of God, to God who is my joy and happiness. I will praise you with a harp, God, my God.

Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I should put my hope in God and keep praising him, my Savior and my God.
