Here is a simple Bible verse which I sometimes allow to rattle around in my mind when I want to be afraid, discouraged, or sad about something  that might be happening in my life:
 
"Heart, body, and soul are filled with joy."
~ Psalm 16:9
 
Commentary:   "David (writer) found the secret to joy.
True joy is deeper than happiness;
 joy can be felt even in the midst of, and spite of one's deepest troubles.
Happiness is temporary because it is based on external circumstances,
but joy is lasting because it is based on God's presence within us.
As you contemplate His daily presence,
you will find contentment.
Don't base your life on circumstances,
but on God."
