Christ, worry, technology, great is your reward in heaven, ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake, in god's eyes, negative situations, hurry, Tuesday Mantra, the beloved of God, trust my friend Jesus, hear me, same khaki pants, rejoice and be exceeding glad, lock stock and barrel, say all manner of evil against you falsely, share His love with my neighbours, I am in trouble, undeserved suffering, save me O God, the waters are come in unto my soul, I sink deep in the mire, mine eyes fail while I wait for my God, O God thou knowest my foolishness, my sins are not hid from thee, where there is no standing, come into deep waters, the floods overflow me, my throat is dried, he that endureth to the end shall be saved, a cry for help, weary of my crying, hate me without a cause, more than the hairs of mine head, I restored that which I took not away, for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame hath covered my face, become a stranger unto my brethren, an alien unto my mother's children, I wept, chastened my soul with fasting, I made sackcloth also to my garment, a symbol of sorrow, became a proverb to them, the song of the drunkards, they that would destroy me, they that sit in the gate speak against me, blessed are ye when men shall revile and persecute you, so persecuted they the prophets which were before you, letting all and sundry know to whom we belong, they too can come to know and love Christ like do, technology breaks down at the most inopportune times, becoming more dependent on technology, my wrongful enemies, restored that which I did not steal, let not them that wait in faith on thee, be ashamed for my sake, let not those that seek thee be confounded, the zeal for thine house hath eaten me up, the reproaches of then that reproached thee are fallen on me, falsely accused, negatively treated, find the faith to bear it, my prayer is unto thee O Lord, in an acceptable time, in the multitude of thy mercy, in the truth of thy salvation, deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink, let me delivered from them that hate me, out of the deep waters, let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, let not the pit shut her mouth upon me, thy lovingkindness is good, turn unto me, according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, hide not thy face from thy servant, hear me speedily, draw nigh unto my soul, deliver me because of mine enemies, redeem my soul, reproach hath broken my heart, full of heaviness, looked for some to take pity, there was none to take pity, looked for comforters but found none, gave me gall for my meat, in my thirst, gave me vinegar to drink, God's ever faithful
