“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!'”

For nothing is impossible with God.”

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From His temple He heard my voice; my cry came to His ears.

Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone.

I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word.

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him.

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to Your word.

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.

Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone.

Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
He lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
