Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

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

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

It is a sin to despise one’s neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.

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

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

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit–fruit that will last–and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

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

For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance.

You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

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

I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

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.

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

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

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…

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.

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

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

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