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

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

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.

Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

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

But just as you excel in everything–in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us–see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

I will praise God’s name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving.

Saying: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.”

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

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

Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.

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

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
