ABANDONMENT

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you;

he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

DEUTERONOMY 31:8 NIV

The LORD loves justice and fairness;

he will never abandon his people.

They will be kept safe forever.

PSALM 37:28 TLB

God makes a home for the lonely;

He leads out the prisoners into prosperity.

PSALM 68:6 NASB

“I will not abandon you as orphans—

I will come to you.”

JOHN 14:18 NLT

Father, you are faithful and true to your promises. Help me remember the times you stood by me and renewed my strength when I thought no one supported me. Teach me of the other men you have stood beside in times of loneliness and struggle—like David, Moses, and Jesus—so I am strengthened against my fears. Remind me once again of your certain promise to restore and fulfill so I may overcome this trial with the joy of victory that you will bring with you.

Do you truly believe that God will never leave you?

ACCEPTANCE

“The Father gives me the people who are mine.

Every one of them will come to me,

and I will always accept them.”

JOHN 6:37 NCV

The LORD does not see as man sees;

for man looks at the outward appearance,

but the LORD looks at the heart.

1 SAMUEL 16:7 NKJV

Before he made the world,

God chose us to be his very own

through what Christ would do for us; he decided then

to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—

we who stand before him covered with his love.

EPHESIANS 1:4 TLB

My Lord, you are awesome and majestic, amazing in your ways! You invite me to your table as one of your companions, as David with his men, and you strengthen me with your kindness. You are not ashamed to confront me in my failings and call me to stand and own myself before you, but you stand with me. You strengthen me by your companionship and willingness to call me to go with you in the mission you have set before me: to empower others to stand true to the day of your restoration. You are a good friend.

How does God’s acceptance of you help you to be more accepting of others?

ADOPTION

You did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,

but you have received a spirit of adoption.

When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit

bearing witness with our spirit

that we are children of God.

ROMANS 8:15–16 NRSV

A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows,

Is God in His holy habitation.

God makes a home for the lonely;

He leads out the prisoners into prosperity.

PSALM 68:5-6 NASB

The LORD will not abandon His people

on account of His great name,

because the LORD has been pleased

to make you a people for Himself.

1 SAMUEL 12:22 NASB

My Father, I am humbled you have drawn me to yourself and made me one of your own. I have been a lonely wanderer, hoping to find my way and purpose in this life, struggling with feeling unworthy if I haven’t made a name for myself. You, however, have given me a name and have made me a part of the grandest story. You have freely offered me a place in your family though my roots have been founded in rebellion. I am your son, and you are my Father, and all of this according to your own desire. I glorify you!

How does knowing that God has adopted you into his family make you feel?

ANXIETY

You will keep in perfect peace those whose

minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

ISAIAH 26:3 NIV

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled.

Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

JOHN 14:1 NLT

Give all your worries to him,

because he cares about you.

1 PETER 5:7 NCV

I call out to the LORD when I’m in trouble,

and he answers me.

PSALM 120:1 NIRV

O Mighty King, your promises are true and certain because you have the power and authority to make them true. You have shown your faithfulness to your Word throughout the story of life; you have established your people and continue to draw each of us to yourself. You have promised that you will restore and replenish the earth, and you will refresh our souls with newness of breath. I can rest steadfastly in your promises, my strong tower, for you do not lie. I am filled with joy in times of trouble because of your Word. You fill me with courage by your Holy Spirit.

What steps can you take to be less anxious and more trusting?

ASSURANCE

To him who is able to do immeasurably more

than all we ask or imagine, according to his power

that is at work within us, to him be glory…

for ever and ever! Amen.

EPHESIANS 3:20–21 NIV

All of God’s promises have been fulfilled

in Christ with a resounding “Yes!”

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 NLT

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

HEBREWS 13:8 NASB

These things I have written to you who believe

in the name of the Son of God, that you may know

that you have eternal life, and that you may

continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

1 JOHN 5:13 NKJV

Kind Father, I am uncertain and need encouragement. You have set forth your promises and are faithful to fulfill what you have determined. However, my eyes are weak, and I do not always see. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and remind me of your great works of old, so I may be encouraged to hold confident assurance in you and in the plans you have established. Then, I will be able to reside confidently in the certainty of faith, assured of your work. May my faith be fully rooted in your promises, and may I not be comforted by my own hopes and dreams but be built up in the truth of your great calling. I stand on your firm foundations, magnificent God.

How does believing God’s promises cause you to feel reassured?

BELIEF

If you instruct the brethren in these things,

you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ,

nourished in the words of faith and of the

good doctrine which you have carefully followed.

1 TIMOTHY 4:6 NKJV

To all who did accept him and believe in him

he gave the right to become children of God.

JOHN 1:12 NCV

“All things are possible to him who believes.”

MARK 9:23 NASB

“Have you believed because you have seen me?

Blessed are those who have not seen

and yet have believed.”

JOHN 20:29 ESV

I believe you, Lord my God, and the firmness of your will. I put my faith in you that you have established your creation according to your plan, and according to that same will you will restore all who put their trust in you. I am strengthened by the message of your power and the good news of redemption you have established through Jesus’ first coming. Merciful One, I pray that you will strengthen me against my unbelief, in those times when my focus drops from the certainty of you and is drawn away to the wayward circumstances of this life that war against my believing in your promised redemption. Act in accordance with the power of your Holy Spirit to strengthen my belief in you and the power you will exert to fulfill your great redemptive promise.

How can you strengthen your belief in God?

BLESSINGS

Surely, LORD, you bless those who do what is right.

Like a shield, your loving care keeps them safe.

PSALM 5:12 NIRV

Surely you have granted him unending blessings

and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

PSALM 21:6 NIV

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
