"Ask, and it will be given you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you.
For every one who asks receives,
and he who seeks finds,
and to him who knocks
it will be opened."
Matthew 7:7-8
On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase (Psalm 138:3).
We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this ..is our strength, and this is the joy of the Lord. -- Blessed Mother Teresa
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; thy steadfast love, O LORD, endures for ever. Do not forsake the work of thy hands (Psalm 138:8).
I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing thy praise; I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word (Psalm 138:1-2).
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, blessed are you. Help me, who am alone and have no help but you (Esther C:14). Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou dost preserve my life; thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand delivers me (Psalm 138:7). Save us from the hand of our enemies; turn our mourning into gladness and our sorrows into wholeness (Esther C:25).
