How to Have Joy

This is long over due.
I've been meaning to get this somewhere that was more easily accessible than a binder tucked away on my bookshelf.
This past semester, my friend Chelsea and I did a bible study on Philippians. We did Kay Arthur's In & Out abbreviated Precept study entitled "How to Have Joy."
And let me tell you, it is GOOD.
The last two lessons have Bible verses to dwell on when you're feeling nervous or anxious or really anything because they're just that good.
And I needed to get them somewhere where when I needed to read over them I could just pull out my phone and look at this post. And maybe for you, you can also go to this post and read over it when you're anxious or worried or aren't feeling very joyful.

Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Isaiah 26:3
The steadfast of mind you will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.

Isaiah 41:10
Do not fear for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 43:1-2
But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel, Do not fear for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you.

Matthew 6:24-34
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other; or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. you cannot serve God and wealth. For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, What will we eat? or What will we drink? or What will we wear for clothing? For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Hebrews 13:5-6
Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you, so that we confidently say, "The lord is my helper, I will not be afraid, what will man do to me?"

1 Peter 5:6-7
Therefore humble yourselves under the might hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

Daniel 4:35
All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing, but He does according to His will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off His hand or say to him "what have you done?"

Romans 8:28-29
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of HIs Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren.

1 Samuel 2:7-8
The Lord makes poor and rich; he brings low, he also exalts. He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with nobles, and inherit a seat of honor; for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he set the world on them.

1 Chronicles 29:11-12
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and you exalt yourself as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.
