1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 AMP Rejoice always and delight in your faith; [17] be unceasing and persistent in prayer; [18] in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

Prayer without a God-focus is just whining.

1 Peter 1:8 NLT You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.

2 Timothy 1:7 AMP “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].” So much has been said about the new normal: The way churches, businesses, and governments operate, and how we direct our personal lives. Though we certainly should learn from the fiasco of the last few years, we must not allow fear to become our “new normal.” If we allow it, fear can easily infiltrate our thinking and successfully rewire how we approach Scripture and faith in God. We must not allow anything to exalt itself over the Word of God. Cast down the imaginations, thoughts, activities, and speeches that have their purpose in manipulating, short-circuiting, redirecting, or diverting our focus from Jesus. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness...Matthew 6:33 Fight the good fight of faith... 1Timothy 6:12 What we allow, we empower! -unknown author

Psalm 119:89-90 NKJV Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. [90] Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides.

 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 GNT Do not be fooled (deceived, led astray, wander from truth). ” Bad companions ruin good character. [34] Come back to your right senses and stop your sinful ways. I declare to your shame that some of you do not know God” (if you deny the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, you do not know God. You need to receive Jesus as Lord).

Philippians 4:6-8

We praise from a place of fullness. Mary's focus was vertical. She sat at Jesus' feet and was filled, which clarified her vision and attitude. Martha's focus was parallel, which distorted her vision and attitude and hindered her hearing of Jesus. Is your focus vertical or parallel? Be still, sit at Jesus' feet, and be filled. Luke 10:38-42, Romans 12:1-4, Matthew 6:25-33

Don't Forget What God Said because of what you see being done. Psalm 139

"Don't Let your mind and emotions take you where your faith can not sustain you."

Hebrews 11

Romans 12:1-2
