My Lips Shall Speak: If I Keep On Asking

God is faithful, reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on. He remains true, faithful to His Word and His righteous character, for He cannot deny Himself. The Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword. When you go, His Word shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you waken, it shall talk with you. The Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your mind and in your heart, so that you can do it.

As for me, my lips shall speak what they know with utter sincerity. My mouth shall utter Truth.

If I Keep On Asking

If I keep on asking, it will be given me; if I keep on seeking I will find; if I keep on knocking reverently, the door will be opened to me. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened.
[Adapted from Matthew 7:7-8]

I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in me will continue until the day of Jesus Christ - right up to the time of His return, developing that good work and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in me.
[Adapted from Philippians 1:6]

Lord, help my heart and courage endure and help my hands be strong in the days that You deal with me.
[Adapted from Ezekiel 22:14]

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me - I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency.
[Philippians 4:13]

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.
[Psalm 138:8]
