Anxiety
Scripture: Psalm 1

Confidence
Psalm 19
This psalm praises the glory of God. It reminds us that we need only to look up at the sky and be amazed by the heavens that God has created to know that God is worthy of our trust. If our faith is the God who created the entire universe, we can be confident that he will never let us down.

Anger
