Overcome

Psalms 6:1-10 CEV (A psalm by David for the music leader. Use stringed instruments.) Don't punish me, LORD, or even correct me when you are angry! 2. Have pity on me and heal my feeble body. My bones tremble with fear, 3. and I am in deep distress. How long will it be? 4. Turn and come to my rescue. Show your wonderful love and save me, LORD. 5. If I die, I cannot praise you or even remember you. 6. My groaning has worn me out. At night my bed and pillow are soaked with tears. 7. Sorrow has made my eyes dim, and my sight has failed because of my enemies. 8. You, LORD, heard my crying, and those hateful people had better leave me alone. 9. You have answered my prayer and my plea for mercy. 10. My enemies will be ashamed and terrified, as they quickly run away in complete disgrace.

Romans 8:31-39 CEV What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us? 32. God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won't he freely give us everything else? 33. If God says his chosen ones are acceptable to him, can anyone bring charges against them? 34. Or can anyone condemn them? No indeed! Christ died and was raised to life, and now he is at God's right side, speaking to him for us. 35. Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? 36. It is exactly as the Scriptures say, "For you we face death all day long. We are like sheep on their way to be butchered." 37. In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. 38. I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love--not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, 39. and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!

1 John 1:4-9 CEV We are writing to tell you these things, because this makes us truly happy. 5. Jesus told us that God is light and doesn't have any darkness in him. Now we are telling you. 6. If we say that we share in life with God and keep on living in the dark, we are lying and are not living by the truth. 7. But if we live in the light, as God does, we share in life with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus washes all our sins away. 8. If we say that we have not sinned, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth isn't in our hearts. 9. But if we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away.
