The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want... (Psalm 23:1)


Whatever the situation may be, put it into the hand of Christ...



"O Lord and Master of my life, grant not unto me a spirit of idleness, of discouragement, of lust for power, and of vain speaking. But bestow upon me thy servant the spirit of purity, of meekness, of patience, and of love. Yea O Lord and King, grant that I may perceive my own transgressions and judge not my brother, for blessed thou art unto ages of ages. Amen." (Prayer of St. Ephrem)

A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet... (Proverbs 27:7)


فاقد الشيء لا يعطيه


People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, you may be accused of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, you may be deceived. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. You may give the best that you have and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway. For you see in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway... (Blessed Theresa of Calcutta)


A broken spirit and a contrite heart - these O God You will not despise... (Psalm 51:17)


"Do not search for the place but for the Owner of the place..."


A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation... hallelujah (Psalm 91:7-16)


A righteous man may fall seven times a day and yet he rises. But when the wicked falls, a disaster shall strike him... (Proverbs 24:16)
