13 A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

12 I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…

13 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
