  1. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
    The other one …….Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find.
    Both very powerful in my life and I constantly give thanks for my many blessings and understand deeply that ALL IS IN DIVINE ORDER.
    Sending you love Dear Karen and to all your family and lovely readers and friends too. Namaste.

    • Thank you, Kathleen. The verses you quoted are among my favorites, as well. Gratitude and love–the road to the peace that passes all understanding.

  2. “You know every day of mine before even one of them came to be.” Psalm 139

    “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” Phil 4:24

  3. Phil. 4: 8&9
    “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” With so much negative in the world it reminds me how to have the “Peace that passes all understanding”.

    • I love this verse, Etta Mae. If only everyone would practice and think on these things, imagine how our world would shift.

  4. The one Etta Mae gave is ONE of my favorites but I have received comfort from Isaiah 26:3 ” Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because thou trusteth in Thee”. My comfort when my son was killed in an auto accident. It did not take away the tears, pain and grief but it certainly did give me the “peace that passeth understanding” which only God can give.

    Thanks, Karen, for another beautiful blog!
    Love to you, Margaret

  5. Zephaniah 3:17 – “The Lord your God is with you, the mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”

  6. I love these two verses. I may even stop coloring now! 😉 I love how God speaks so personally to each of us. When I was a new believer in my 20’s, an older woman handed me my four “life verses” in a church service. She didn’t even know me, but they were so appropriate! One of them is Is. 58:11: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your rest.” When I worry and fret (which is often!), this truth helps me focus on Jesus’ sovereignty and love.

  7. Hi Karen, great verses. Don’t remember reading the Isaiah one. Thanks. Might have to write those down. My favorite verse is Proverbs 3:5, 6. Mom had a special verse for each one of us kids and this was mine. So obviously, this is still my fave. I’ve tried living by this verse.

    Trust in the Lord with all your heart heart and lean not unto your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will direct your path.

    This is obviously a paraphrase but I still love the verse. Christ is my standard and as long as this is so, I’ll be just fine. Everything else will fall into place. Have a great day Karen and GBY.
