• Jacob 1:2-4
  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 
  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 
  But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

  YOU know the trial ((and no it's not a house ... which is just a material possession and  at this point I could care less....it's not the drive and yet also torment I'm facing))

   

  Jacob 3:14
  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

  Jacob 4:2-3
  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 
  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

  Jacob 4:6-10
  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 
  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 
  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 
  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 
  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

  Psalm 51
  Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 
  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 
  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 
  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 
  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 
  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 
  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 
  Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 
  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 
  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 
  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 
  Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 
  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 
  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 
  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 
  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 
  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 
  Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
  

  Jacob 4:15
  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

  Jacob 5:7-11
  Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 
  Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 
  Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 
  Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 
  Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
