You Are My Hope

I wait and hope for and expect the Lord; I am brave and of good courage and my heart is stout and enduring. Yes, I wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.
[Adapted from Psalm 27:14]

I will come forward and draw near with a true, honest and sincere heart, in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith - by leaning my entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness - and my heart will be sprinkled and purified from a guilty conscience and my body cleansed with pure water. I will seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope I cherish and confess, and my acknowledgment of it, for He Who promised is reliable, sure and faithful to His word.
[Adapted from Hebrews 10:22-23]

For You are my hope; O Lord God.
[Psalm 71:5]

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]

Constancy and Fearlessness

I will not, even for a moment, be frightened or intimidated in anything by my opponents and adversaries, for my constancy and fearlessness will be a clear sign to them of their impending destruction, and a sure token and evidence of my deliverance and salvation from God.
[Adapted from Phililppians 1:28]

I Can Depend on Him

God is faithful, reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and I can depend on Him; by Him I was called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ my Lord.
[Adapted from 1 Corinthians 1:9]

Every word of God is tried and purified; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him.
[Proverbs 30:5]

I know Your Name, I have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy, and I will lean on and confidently put my trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
[Adapted from Psalm 9:10]

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust!
[Psalm 91:2]

God Himself has said, He will not in any way fail me nor give me up nor leave me without support. He will not, He will not, He will not in any degree leave me helpless nor forsake nor let me down, nor even relax His hold on me!
[Adapted from Hebrews 13:5]

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried. He is a Shield to all those who trust and take refuge in Him. For who is God but the Lord? And who is a Rock except our God?
[2 Samuel 22:31-32]

I give myself up to Him, taking myself out of my own keeping and entrusting myself into His keeping.
[Adapted from Acts 16:31]
