Memorize and meditate on these Scriptures and discover the transformative power of God’s Word. 

Discernment 

“In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps” Proverbs 16:9.

Guilt

Anger

“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” Proverbs 15:1. 

Money

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money” Matthew 6:24.

Stress
