Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”

The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.

And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

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

They will be my people, and I will be their God.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.

Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

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.

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.

The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

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

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”
