Psalm 66:16-20
16 Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard wickedness in my heart,
The Lord will not hear;
19 But certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
"I will praise you, because You do not take your love away when my life gets messy and difficult. You listen to my cries for help... I will tell all who will listen about Your faithfulness!"

Psalm 61
1 Hear my cry, O God;
Give heed to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
5 For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
6 You will prolong the king's life;
His years will be as many generations.
7 He will abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.
8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day.
"Thank You for listening to my prayers and cries for help. Thank You for giving me peace and leading me in Your strength. You have saved me from my sin, You deserve all my trust. I will trust in Your salvation and follow Your lead because You love me and have proved Your faithfulness over and over again."
Selah.

Psalm 56
1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2 my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3 When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7 For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8 You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12 I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.
"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you! You are worthy of my praise, You have won my trust—what can this world do to me? They want to see me fail, but You hold my in Your hands. You count my tossing and turning, You catch my tears when they fall—You have written everything of my life in your book. My enemies will all scatter when I call for help, but I know that you are with me. I trust You, what can man do to me? I trust You, because You saved me. You guide my steps to walk in your light—you have given my life. I will trust in You!"

Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
7 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
10 "Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah.
"I will not fear because You are my strength. The earth will quake with fear and tremble with questions, it will roar with uprising and overflow with evil; but You are with your people, and we will not be moved! You have displayed your works for me to see. You have ended wars and disasters; why do I try to do so for myself? I will no longer. I will stop trying to control the chaos and the fear, because You are God and You are with me."

Psalm 37
4 Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it...
23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.
If I delight in Him, He will give... When I follow and trust Him, He will do what I cannot... He establishes my steps and walks with me. I will fall and fail, but He will not let go.
Selah
