Joy and Praise NKJV

Psalm 63:1-8 O GOD, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You.

Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall shall praise You with joyful lips.

When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

Because You have been my help. Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

James 1:2-8 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trails,

knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,  for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

For let not the man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

he is a double minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Romans 4:23-25 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

who has delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have access by faith into this Grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perseverance;

and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Now hope doesn't disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Jeremiah 33:1-3 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

"Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it (The LORD is His name);

'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
