“A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.”
Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97:10

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer. Romans 12:12
My brothers and sisters in Christ, we must constantly rejoice in hope because of our confidence in Christ, steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer, continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength.

Acquaint now thyself with God and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Job 22:21

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6
My brothers and sisters in Christ, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
Now, if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3
“A man’s steps are from the Lord, so how can anyone understand his own way? O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. Lead me O Lord in your righteousness.”
To humans belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue. Proverbs 16:1
“All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. The Lord works out everything to its proper end, even the wicked for a day of disaster.”
