Philippians 4:19 (NLT)And this same God, who takes care

of me, will supply all your

needs from His glorious riches,which have been given to us in

Christ Jesus.

Psalm 37:5 (NLT)Commit everything you do to the

LORD. Trust Him, and He will

help you.

do not depend on your ownunderstanding.


11/20

Isaiah 26:3,4 (NLT)You will keep in perfect peace all

who trust in you, all whosethoughts are fixed on you! Trust inthe LORD always, for the LORD GOD is

the eternal Rock.

in darkness, without a ray of light,trust in the LORD and rely

on your God.But watch out, you who live in yourown light and warm yourselves by


13/20

your own fires. This is the reward

you will receive from me: You willsoon fall down in great torment.

Jeremiah 17:5-8 (NLT)5 This is what the LORD says: Cursedare those who put their trust in

mere humans, who rely on humanstrength and turn their hearts away

from the LORD.6 They are like stunted shrubs in thedesert, with no hope for the future.

They will live in the barren


15/20

wilderness, in an uninhabited salty

land.7 But blessed are those who

trust in the LORD and havemade the LORD their hope

and confidence.8 They are like trees planted along ariverbank, with roots that reach


16/20

deep into the water. Such trees are

not bothered by the heat or worriedby long months of drought. Their

leaves stay green, and they neverstop producing fruit.


17/20

Isaiah 31:1,3 (NLT)What sorrow awaits those who lookto Egypt for help, trusting their

horses, chariots, and charioteersand depending on the strength of

human armies instead of

lookingto the LORD, the Holy One ofIsrael.


18/20

For these Egyptians are mere

humans, not God! Their horsesare puny flesh, not mighty spirits!

When the LORD raises His fist againstthem, those who help will stumble,

and those being helped will fall.

They will all fall down and dietogether.


19/20

Who do you rely upon? What do you depend on? Where do you go for

help? What is your first

response in times ofdifficulty?


20/20

faithfulness. Delight yourselfalso in the Lord, And He shall give

you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord, Trustalso in Him, And He shall bring it to

pass.
