That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 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.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

[B]ut 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.

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

Your name, LORD, endures forever, your renown, LORD, through all generations. For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

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

[B}ut 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.

Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

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

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

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

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

“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.”

Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 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.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
