promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them. Psalms 119:140 (NIV)

eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your

peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble. Psalms 119:165 (NIV)
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills--where does my help come
from? My help comes from the LORD, the
Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip--he who watches over you will
not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you--the LORD is your shade at your
right hand; 6 the
sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The
LORD will keep you from all harm--he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and
forevermore. Psalms 121:1-8 (NIV)
10 So
do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will
uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
7 “Be
strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses
gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be
successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your
mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do
everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have
I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be
discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:7-9 (NIV)
15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another
Counselor to be with you forever-- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept
him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives
with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come
to you.” John 14:15-18 (NIV)
27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give
to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid.” John 14:27 (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have
peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the
world.” John 16:33 (NIV)
19 And
my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ
Jesus. Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
5 Keep
your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I
will not be afraid. What can man do to
me?” Hebrews 13:4-6 (NIV)
17 Every
good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the
heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 (NIV)
20 For
no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so
through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV)

“The
promises of God are just as good as ready money any day.” Billy
Bray
“God
is the great reality…His promises are real and glorious, beyond our wildest
dreams.” J. B. Phillips
“God’s
promises are like the stars; the darker the night, the brighter they shine.” David Nicholas
“When you don’t know what to do,
be still long enough to allow Me to calm the storm in your heart and part the
sea that seems to lie in the way of My promises for you. If you will wait on
Me, you will witness My wonders!” Sheri Rose Shepherd
“God
has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need
now.” Elisabeth
Elliot
“God’s purposes in
the lives of His children are always
gracious. Always. If they don’t look like it, don’t
trust your perceptions. Trust God’s
promises. He is always fulfilling His promises.” Jon Bloom
“God
wants us to reconnect with the powerful and timeless things He has done in the
past, enabling us to build on them rather than always starting over. He not only desires that we be encouraged by
remembering His past faithfulness, but also to realize that the promises and
anointings released during those seasons are still available today.” Dutch
Sheets
“Believer, until
you can drain the ocean dry of omnipotence and break the towering mountains of
almighty strength into pieces, you never need to be afraid. Don’t think that the strength of a human
being shall ever be able to overcome the power of God. As long as the earth’s huge pillars stand,
you have enough reason to remain firm in your faith. The same God who directs the earth in its
orbit, feeds the burning furnace of the sun, and trims the lamps of heaven, has
promised to supply you with daily strength.
While He is able to uphold the universe, don’t even dream that He will
prove unable to fulfill His own promises.
Remember what He did in ages past, in the former generations. Remember how He spoke, and it was done; how
He commanded, and it stood fast. Shall
He that created the world grow weary? He
hangs the world upon nothing; shall He who does this be unable to support His
children? Shall He be unfaithful to His
word for want of power? Who is it that
restrains the tempest? Doesn’t He ride
upon the wings of the wind, and make the clouds His chariots, and hold the
ocean in the hollow of His hand? How can
He fail you? When He has put such a
faithful promise as this on record, will you for a moment indulge the thought
that He has out promised Himself, and gone beyond his power to fulfill? Ah, no!
You cannot doubt any longer.” Charles H. Spurgeon
