Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. (Psalms 91:1, 10, 11 NLT)
There is a sense of comfort knowing that God's shelter never fails. Encouraging words spoken by God heed great instruction; but we have to be willing to actually follow the words; and not just hear them. It's often times as believers, we hear God but don't allow the words to speak life into our hearts

Protection behind God
God’s way is perfect. All the Lord ’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. (Psalms 18:30 NLT)
Through our daily struggles and wanting answers to all the WHY questions....God still remains perfect and true to his promises...to never separate from us; to comfort and to heal us when we cannot understand the question to the reasons of WHY ME? Find protection in God

Faithful Heart
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. (Romans 10:10 NLT)
Having a faithful heart, how do we do this? Simple: utter the words above from Scripture and you are saved! We tend to forget that just simple faith will set us free

Don't be Anxious
Find rest, O my soul, In God alone, my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:5-8
When your day starts off not the way your expected or if you left something back at home that you should have with you, don't become overwhelmed with anxious thoughts or feelings that the rest of your day will turn out badly; but have faith that God is in control. The things that we think we cannot live without, actually turn out to be things we don't have control of in the first place. ie. plans for your day, time, peace, and so many others. We may impact each of these things in some small way, but truly God is in control of all these things and our good intention plans never turn out exactly how we hoped anyways

God's spirit
And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. (Romans 8:27 NLT)
Stay connected to God's spirit. Don't be let astray by things in life that try to consume your time and thoughts

Life is not perfect....God is perfect
He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is! (Deuteronomy 32:4 NLT)
Many times we see life as unfair and not perfect but GOD only promised that he is fair and he is perfect. We sometimes put our faith in things and beliefs that don't last on earth; when we should strive for much bigger and greater things

Admitting when you are wrong
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NLT)
Lord when I fall short of demonstrating a peaceful heart; your promise stands strong that you are with us wherever we go. Hard lessons learned when our parental roles don't demonstrate to our children godly behavior, but rather an unglued moment. The difficult part is forgiving ourselves for making mistakes and the willingness to show our children the ability to confess and repent our sins, A close friend reminds me that we are still "human" and therefore being "human" requires confession and repentance, since there is no other way to show there is a power in God beyond ourselves.
