Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

In God I trust and am not afraid. What can man 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?”

The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

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

One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

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

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.

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.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

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.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

“In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.”

“I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.”

My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior– from violent people you save me.

Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
