Trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”

Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

If you listen carefully to what He says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.

This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.

You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

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

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Greater love has no one than this, that He lay down His life for His friends.

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

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
