Scripture for feeling Stressed, Worried or Afraid

Selamta!

Blessed Love in the Name of the Almighty JAH, the Kristos King, Queen, Prophet and Priest!

Time is working against me these days because I am so busy producing new bags and so on. Being a one-woman show it is very time consuming and energy draining, so I haven't been able to write the posts I really want to reason on. But all in due time, one day at a time, I will get there! Just know I am always thinking of the Sistren and endeavouring to share the morsels of inspiration and guidance that have come my way.

Given that the recent topics have been very helpful and meaningful to the I Sistren, I will continue to post another list of advice from the Holy Books - I really hope that at least by tomorrow I can change up the topics a bit because I do feel like I'm taking the easy way out!  But I do give thanks still that I am able to help in this small way.



Iditations for when I and I are feeling:

Stressed


But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)


Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! (Psalm 27:14)


...with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love... (Ephesians 4:2)


The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. (Lamentations 3:25-26)


But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:25-26)


...rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer... (Romans 12:12)



And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)


My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 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.
(James 1:2-4)


Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: (Hebrews 10:35-36)


Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1)



...do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:12)


Worried



Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to JAH; and the peace of JAH, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Krist Yesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)


You (JAH) will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in JAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:3-4)


And let the peace of JAH rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. (Colossians 3:15)


Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? (Matthew 6:25)


Think back to the ancient generations and consider this: has the Lord ever disappointed anyone who put his hope in him? Has the Lord ever abandoned anyone who held him in constant reverence? Has the Lord ever ignored anyone who prayed to Him?

The Lord is kind and merciful; he forgives our sins and keeps us safe in time of trouble. But those who lost their nerve are doomed. (Sirach 2:10-12)


Afraid


He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My JAH, in Him I will trust.” (Psalm 91:1-2)



For JAH has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
(2 Timothy 1:7)



So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of JAH to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. JAH Rastafari Sela is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:6-8)



Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught. (Proverbs 3:25-26)


I can do all things through Krist Who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)


In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. (Isaiah 54:14)


Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ (Isaiah 41:10)


For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Jahovah JAH RasTafarI! (Romans 8:15-16)


There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18)



JAH love surround and Bless the I Sistren
Never let the bad parts of life take over, they are just a part of the journey, the duality of life.
Never put faith in dead things, in idols, in stuff - they do not get you the victory, they are simply tools or means of preparation! The Living JAH gives our minds the wisdom and our hearts the drive to endure and achieve all things. To JAH alone be all powers and thanksgiving. Babylon is designed to kill us and inflict us with stress, worry and fear - but JAH loves and heals and replenishes through the Word Irit and the path of love, righteousness and cleanliness. All good works shall prosper!
For the Lion of Judah is breaking every chain giving His Dawtas the victory again and again!
