Sunday Chat June: The Two Most Wasted Emotions

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 

and will forgive us our sins and purify us 

from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9

“That is why I tell you not to worry 

about everyday life whether you have 

enough food and drink, 

or enough clothes to wear. 

Isn’t life more than food, 

and your body more than clothing? 

Look at the birds. 

They don’t plant or harvest or 

store food in barns, 

for your heavenly Father feeds them. 

And aren’t you far more valuable 

to him than they are? 

 Can all your worries add 

a single moment to your life?

Matthew 6:25-27

Be thankful in all circumstances, 

for this is God’s will for you 

who belong to Christ Jesus.

1 Thesselonians 5:8

Blessed be the God and Father 

of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 

who comforts us in all our affliction, 

so that we may be able to comfort those 

who are in any affliction, 

with the comfort with which we ourselves 

are comforted by God.

Corinthians 1:3-4

We can rejoice, too, 

when we run into problems and trials, 

for we know that they help us develop endurance. 

And endurance develops strength of character, 

and character strengthens our confident 

hope of salvation. And this hope will not 

lead to disappointment. For we know 

how dearly God loves us, 

because he has given us the Holy Spirit 

to fill our hearts with his love.

Romans 5:3-5
