The Lord bless you and keep you;

the Lord make His face to shine upon you

and be gracious unto you,

The Lord lift His countenance upon you and

give you peace.  Numbers 6:24-26.

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?

Or am I trying to please men?

If I were still trying to please men,

I would not be a servant of Christ.  Galatians 1:10

Psalm 23

¹ The LORD is my shepherd;
        I shall not want.
        ²He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
        He leads me beside the still waters.
        ³He restores my soul;
        He leads me in the paths of righteousness
        For His name's sake.


        ⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,
        I will fear no evil;
        For You are with me;
        Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.


        ⁵You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;
        You anoint my head with oil;
        My cup runs over.
        ⁶Surely goodness and mercy

shall follow me
        All the days of my life;
        And I will dwell in the house

of the LORD forever.

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith

it is impossible to please God,

because anyone who comes to him

 must believe that he exists

 and that he rewards those

who earnestly seek him. 

Psalm 66
¹ Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
² Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious!
³ Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
⁴ All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing praise to your name."

¹⁶ Come and listen, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
¹⁹ but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.
²⁰ Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
 

Psalm 91 New KJV
 
¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
        Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
        ²I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
        My God, in Him I will trust."
        ³Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
        And from the perilous pestilence.
        ⁴He shall cover you with His feathers,
        And under His wings you shall take refuge;
        His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

⁵You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
        Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
        ⁶Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
        Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

        ⁷A thousand may fall at your side,
        And ten thousand at your right hand;
        But it shall not come near you.
        ⁸Only with your eyes shall you look,
        And see the reward of the wicked.
 

⁹Because you have made the LORD,

who is my refuge,
        Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
        ¹⁰No evil shall befall you,
        Nor shall any plague come

near your dwelling;
        ¹¹For He shall give His angels

charge over you,
        To keep you in all your ways.
        ¹²In their hands they shall bear you up,
        Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
        ¹³You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
        The young lion and the serpent

you shall trample underfoot.

        ¹⁴"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.
        ¹⁵He shall call upon Me,

and I will answer him;
        I will be with him in trouble;
        I will deliver him and honor him.
        ¹⁶With long life I will satisfy him,
        And show him My salvation."
