Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. -Isa. 26:3.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. -I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? -Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. -In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.

The effect of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance for ever. -Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. -Peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come.

Psa. 55:22. -Isa. 12:2. Matt. 8:26. -Phi. 4:6-7. -Isa. 30:15. Isa. 32:17. -John 14:27. -Rev. 1:4.

As is my practice, last night before going to bed, I read the evening selection from Daily Light on the Daily Path:

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. —PSA. 121:1,2.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us. —Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. —Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. —Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psa. 125:2. Psa. 123:1,2. -Psa. 63:7. II Chr. 20:12. -Psa. 25:15. -Psa. 124:8.

I should clarify that I turn to the Scriptures morning and evening, not because I am so holy and perfect, but because I am so needy in spirit (and other ways).
