TRUTH: He is good [through all circumstances]

GIVE THANKS:
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
-Psalm 100:4-5

REST IN HIS PROTECTION:
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He ALONE is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
-Psalm 91:1-4

TRUST HIS STRENGTH:
O Lord God of Heaven's Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves...Powerful is your arm! Strong is your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength.
-Psalm 89:8-13

FEAR HIS AUTHORITY:
Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that you may grow in wisdom.
-Psalm 90:11-12

HONOR HIS GREATNESS:
Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I Will give glory to your name forever, for your love for me is very great. You have rescued me from the depths of death.
-Psalm 86:11-13

Praying through the Psalms is such an intimate coping skill with our Lord. Choose him and his promises. He alone is good, through all circumstances. LOVE.
