How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.

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

… 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.

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

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

… but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

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.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

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

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
