We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.”

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.

And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.

“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”
