James 4:1-10

Stop comparing.

Quit worrying.

End the quarreling.

Finish the questioning.

Be at peace.

Let Him uphold you.

Let Him be you strength when you are weak.

Do not look to the world for approval.

Do not let the world define you.

Make peace.

Stop.

Think.

Listen.

Let go and let God.

Let Him define you.

Nothing compares with Him.

He is more than the world.

Trust.

JAS 4:1-10

Beloved:
Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from?
Is it not from your passions that make war within your members?
You covet but do not possess.
You kill and envy but you cannot obtain;
you fight and wage war.
You do not possess because you do not ask.
You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly,
to spend it on your passions.
Adulterers!
Do you not know that to be a lover of the world means enmity with God?
Therefore, whoever wants to be a lover of the world 
makes himself an enemy of God.
Or do you suppose that the Scripture speaks without meaning when it says,
The spirit that he has made to dwell in us tends toward jealousy? 
But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says:
God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.

So submit yourselves to God.
Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners,
and purify your hearts, you of two minds.
Begin to lament, to mourn, to weep.
Let your laughter be turned into mourning
and your joy into dejection.
Humble yourselves before the Lord
and he will exalt you.

I will throw my cares on the LORD and He will support me. Psalm 55:22
