Practice your memory verses:

However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" -- the things God has prepared for those who love him—1 Corinthians 2:9

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5

Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

Psalm 139

10Even there Your hand will lead me,
  And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
11If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
  And the light around me will be night,”
12Even the darkness is not dark to You,
  And the night is as bright as the day.
  Darkness and light are alike to You.
13For You formed my inward parts;
  You wove me in my mother’s womb.
14I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
  Wonderful are Your works,
  And my soul knows it very well.
