In God, whose word I praise– in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

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

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.

Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.

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.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:  He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

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

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Stand firm, and you will win life.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
