Desperate

Psalm 62:5 - 8

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;

my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honour depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

8 Trust in him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

Psalm 55:22

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

2 Corinthians 1:8-11

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favour granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
