Like the Bruce Springstein song Dancing In The Dark says, "can't start a fire, sittin around trying to heal a broken heart, can't start a fire without a spark; can't start a fire worrying about your little world fallin' apart". Such is a life devoid of enthusiasm. With no fire, you have no internal encouragement.

The good God's power is constructive, helpful, encouraging. The bad God's power is debilitating.toward destruction of all good and all humans, in the dark side's attempt to prove to God, the Creator-Father of all, that creation of humans was a mistake. Why the dark side is out to prove this.

Psalms 59:16 "...you God are my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble."
Psalms 116:8 "For you have delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears and my feet from falling."
Psalms 118:21 "I will praise you, for you have heard me and have become my salvation."

Isaiah 61:3."...to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.(re 'glorified', He's in you when you are of the high consciousness that He is and if this be your expression in life, it's because you are of Him in this way and this then reflects on Him, so He is glorified in you)." Psalms 104:16 "The trees of the Lord are full of sap.(they have something they are willing to give to others for themselves which keeps them going); the cedars of Lebanon, which He has planted."

It is a lot easier to live happily here when one is sure that He is going to be resurrected, that death has no sting! and that Creator-God is always with you.

It is a lot easier to live happily here when one is sure He'll be looked after:.Romans 8:37-39.

Romans 8:28,31-33 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose...What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies."

2Corinthians 2:14 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ.(?).and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place." 

Proverbs 15:15 "All the days of the afflicted.(original 'depressed in mind or circumstances and in need of help').are evil.(or 'distressing.hard days'); but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast." 

Psalms 18:28,29 "For you will light my candle. The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by you I have run through a troop and by my God have I leaped over a wall."

Hebrews 13:6 "So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."

Luke 10:19 "...nothing shall by any means hurt you."

Psalms 27:1 "<A Psalm of David.> The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"

Psalms 18:16-19 "He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy and from them which hated me, for they were too strong for me. They prevented me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me because he delighted in me."

Psalms 31:24 "Be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the Lord."

Psalms 36:9 "For with you is the fountain of life. In your light we see light."

Proverbs 17:22 "A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drys the bones." 

Romans 14:19 "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace and things wherewith one may edify.(build up {why?}, encourage, give courage and strength to).another."

What are those things?.Acts 3:16; Romans 15:1-7; 2Corinthians 10:8.
1Thessalonians 5:11 "Wherefore comfort yourselves together and edify one another....."

The Lord wants us to be encouraged and strengthened:.Ephesians 3:16 "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man." Deuteronomy 11:25 "There shall no man be able to stand before you, for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon..."

Psalms 31:24 "Be of good courage.(make a decision to be strong;."The most obviously important part of courage is the courage to step out in the face of uncertainty."....Brian Tracy).and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the Lord.".In the realm of the Soul is uncertainty, but no need for apprehension, as the power is there to effect outcomes:.Romans 8:28.

Isaiah 35:4 "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence. He will come and save you."

"The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when the God of anxiety and doubt has disappeared."....Paul Tillich.(tameri.com)

Psalms 145:14,18-20 "The Lord upholds all that fall and raises up all those that be bowed down..... The Lord is near.(how near?).unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.(not like the ancient hypocritical.Pharisees:.Matthew 23 24-32). He will fulfill the desire of those that fear.(what does 'fear' mean in the Bible?).him. He also will hear their cry and will save them. The Lord preserves all those that love him....." 

Psalms 146:8 "The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord raises them that are bowed down. The Lord loves the righteous.('maybe that's why I feel so alone, because I'm not righteous' some may think; you just gotta know what the word 'righteous'.really.means and it's not what you think)." 

Psalms 147:3 "He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds."

To be renewed, we need to focus on good things:.Psalms 103:5
   Ask for a double portion of the nature of this Great Infinite Intelligence, called God's Holy Spirit in the Holy Bible. Why not? Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit, the power, the attitude, that his mentor.Elijah had. And got it! Ask for wisdom and get it too!

When the law of the Creator, the law of love and compassion.(not the Mosaic Law).is in one's heart, things go well for an individual:.Psalms 37:31

The Lord wants us to see hope and be enthusiastic even amidst.severe trials:.Psalms 112:4,7.
